Synopsis:
On a brief holiday to Devil’s Cove for a little fishing, Lamont and Margot witness the brutal shooting of young Davey Jones. Putting the boy’s body in the back of their car, they venture into the Cove, dodging bullets from a mysterious rifleman. The telephone lines are down due to the recent hurricane and their car tires are slashed before they can get away. Captain Zeb, an old friend of Lamont’s, is found out of his mind and the house torn apart as if someone had been looking for something. After questioning the suspects, Lamont becomes The Shadow to learn why Samson Tate committed the murder and attempted a cover-up. Learning that Davey found a “treasure” from a sunken ship recently exposed by the hurricane, Samson murdered the boy for a chest of gold but his murder was for nothing.The chest contained nothing but barnacle-covered ship’s carpenter tools.When Samson attempts to escape, he makes his way up an old ladder that gives way and he is killed by the fall.
