Synopsis:
During a savage wind and rainstorm in the Cataract Mountains north of the city, Lamont and Margot are en route to a mountain lodge of some friends for the weekend when they find themselves off the main road and lost. Dr. Enrico Ferrari, head of nuclear research at the Natural Science Lab, was on the verge of a discovery which, in the hands of a hostile power, could give the possessor control of the earth. Mad scientist Thurman Cato arranges the kidnapping of Ferrari. Using a mind-control device he created, Cato is able to extract the equation from the good doctor. Lamont and Margot stumble upon the scheme when seeking shelter on the outskirts of Black Lake where a Revolutionary War-era castle was built on a private island. Margot sets herself up as bait to reveal the entrance of a secret tunnel from the island that comes out on the lakeshore. The Shadow unties the doctor and arms him with a gun so together they can hold the criminals until the Federal authorities arrive. The Shadow oversees the destruction of the formula.
