Synopsis:
Carol Ambler murdered her wealthy aunt and then blackmailed three of the town’s seemingly most eminent citizens to alibi for her. When Lieutenant Steele is forced to release Carol because of the sound alibis, Lamont investigates. Weeks later, Lorna Gray is found dead from a gunshot wound. Desperate to get to the bottom of the case, The Shadow follows E.T. Frain about town for a number of days, haunting the editor of the local paper like a guilty conscience, hoping to force him to confess. With intentions of silencing Frain before he talks, Kopper and Carol visit the man at his summer cottage where he has begun writing a confession. Margot arrives, hoping to save Frain’s life, only to discover the truth the hard way: Carol killed Lorna Gray and was intending to silence the other two men — Frain first, because he was about to confess in writing. As long as they were alive, they posed a threat to her. Ordering both men and Margot against the wall for a wholesale slaughter, Carol is defeated when The Shadow knocks the gun out of her hand and Lieutenant Steele arrives to find the guilty culprits ready for arrest.
