Synopsis:
There have been two deaths in a haunted lighthouse — a young man hurled from the top of the tower and now the old lighthouse keeper stabbed through the heart with a cutlass. The murderer is identified as Captain Josiah Blake, a notorious pirate who was hanged over a hundred years ago. After narrowing down the suspects, Lamont discovers Lila Mills plotted with her lover, Bert, to drive her husband, Duncan, mad to find out what he did with the money salvaged from a recent shipwreck. Mr. Strong came into the game too late but his impersonation of Josiah Blake worked so well that he grew reckless. When Margot hides up in the lighthouse while Lamont puts a stop to the elaborate masquerade she comes face to face with Josiah Blake. Before he can throw her over the rail, The Shadow appears and tricks the captain into emptying his gun into the air. The ghost captain trips on the stairs, knocking himself out as he tries to get away from The Shadow. Margot wakes to discover the captain of a supply ship was taken into police custody.
