Synopsis:

Tom Morgan, suffering from a fear of high places, falls to his death from the bell platform of a high church tower. Lamont and Margot saved Morgan from falling on a previous occasion and were aware that he suffered recurring dreams located on the exact spot of his death. They visit the office of Dr. Craig, the psychiatrist who had been treating Morgan. Finding a nurse wearing a black veil posing as Edna Morgan, Lamont discovers the doctor had her take the place of the widow so he could cash in on Morgan’s insurance. The doctor puts Lamont into a hypnotic trance and convinces him to walk a slippery catwalk along the top of a dam. But Lamont becomes The Shadow and screams to trick the doctor into thinking he fell to his death. He then applies the usual Shadow tactics to force a confession. The doctor attempts to evade the law by jumping to his death, but The Shadow laughs, holding him back for the police.
