Synopsis:
Scientific wizard Rex Kaliban and famed musician Glenda Tammer, team up to create a device known as a Vibro-Transmitter, which sends out a radio beam operating with a sound detector. Using a responsive chord similar to the trumpets that shook down the walls of Jericho, they sabotage an experimental aircraft on its maiden flight. Attempting to throw the blame on The Shadow, they send Colonel Every, who oversees the project, a written threat signed by the elusive figure. Lamont sets out to clear his alter ego by process of elimination, discovering where the device is stationed before its next intended act of sabotage. Kaliban attempts to use the machine against The Shadow, but when the invisible avenger tosses his wristwatch across the room to detract the radio waves, Kaliban is destroyed.Acting on a tip, Commissioner Weston and Colonel Every arrive to find the broken, twisted body of Kaliban. The Shadow laughs as he reveals the names of the guilty parties.
