Synopsis:

In response to a plea from Betty Fuller, Margot and Lamont go to see Amos Saunders, her aunt’s fiancé. They find a shabby room and a body — the corpse of young Amos neatly garroted with a strand of wire. Aged screen actress Katherine Fuller claims to receive visitations from the spirit world — from her late fiancé. Lamont investigates and soon discovers Katherine’s former lover, actor Eugene Delacort, is assisting a con artist named Tony, who plays the role of Drishna the spiritualist. Making Katherine believe that Amos is visiting her from the great beyond, the con men trick the aged actress into withdrawing half of her fortune until The Shadow puts in an appearance as another voice from the great beyond to prevent the woman from being fleeced and to ensure the crooks join the evil spirits who have gone before them.
