Synopsis:
In the death house at the state prison, Johnny Blake will be executed for the murder of policeman William Logan. Lamont suspects Johnny is the victim of a dirty frame-up that may or may not involve his wife’s brother, Joe Turner. With only hours before the scheduled execution, Lamont sets out to prove that someone else was wearing Johnny’s hat and coat and used his gun for the crime. Aware that Monk Slade and his pool hall gang provided the alibi for Joe Turner, Lamont applies psychological pressure to force a confession from the strong-arm pug. Slade doesn’t frighten easily, but when he attempts to flee from The Shadow, he jumps clear before wrecking his car and breaks his back from the fall. Conscious long enough to confess, Slade admits he committed the murder and used Joe as his alibi — not vice versa as the police assumed. Taken into custody for being an accessory to murder, Joe pleads with the cops to provide protection for his sister before naming the members of the pool hall gang.
