Synopsis:
Margot and Lamont have been called to the Hanson Ranch, known as “The Hangman’s Noose” because the foreman of the ranch has been hanged. Upon their arrival they find that Archie Crawford, one of the ranch hands, has also been hanged. Rita, a friend of Margot’s, wants to ensure her father, a former hangman for the state, is not accused of the crimes. Lamont questions the suspects, including the newly hired ranch hands, and discovers that Mr. Hanson was responsible for the execution of three of the five members of the Parker Gang. Two of the newly hired, Slim and Mat, are the missing brothers. When the foreman discovered their secret, they were forced to kill him. In their attempt to hang Mr. Hanson and frame the crimes on him, they kidnap the owner of the ranch and try to hang him. The Shadow rescues Hanson and helps Rita and Margot take the guilty into police custody.
