Synopsis:
In the moonlit cemetery, Clare Bentley is murdered by an unseen killer in the presence of Margot and Lamont after a near hit and run. The dead woman swore a ghost was trying to kill her. Lamont questions her husband, Ralph, and learns that a mysterious telegram lured Bentley out of town during the time of the murder. Further investigation leads to a local sanitarium as a front to shield fugitives from justice. A small time chiseler, an Austrian psychiatrist and a criminal named Eddie Gleason, supposedly under the care of doctors, attempt to heist fifty thousand dollars in securities that were stolen from Bentley’s firm three months earlier. Shortly before the psychiatrist and chiseler attempt to double-cross Eddie, The Shadow arrives at the sanitarium. Laughing, the invisible avenger reveals the methods by which they let Eddie roam free to commit the crimes, murder Ralph Bentley and steal the securities — and Commissioner Weston has already been put on the case.
