Synopsis:
An unwelcome visit to a voodoo ritual has resulted in a strange incident in the home of Ann and Walter Bender. Ann suffers nightmares of Papa Legba, voodoo practitioner from the Caribbean Islands where the couple vacationed and spied on a rare voodoo ritual. Believing she is the victim of simple delusional hysteria, Lamont investigates and discovers that some of her delusions are lifelike — Ann disappears and a voodoo doll is found on the Bender doorstep, predicting a brutal death for the missing woman. An auto accident takes Ann’s life, followed by the death of her husband by impalement. Henri Jacmel, the last suspect in the case, is shot in the heart before he can reveal what he knows to The Shadow. Answering the door, Margot discovers Ann is alive and well — with knife in hand. She faked her death and was working with Jacmel to get rid of her husband so they could run away together — until she learned her lover was about to talk. Preventing Margot from being the next victim in Ann’s scheme, The Shadow arranges for Weston to take Ann into custody.
