Synopsis:
Dr. Marler, who spent years in a laboratory attempting to discover the true nature of aging, has finally discovered the secret of youth. Lamont and Margot are invited to witness an experiment, as Dr. Marler uses the serum to restore the youth of an old, dying woman. Before he can reveal his secret to the world an enemy agent named Gorlin, who believes his destiny is to lead great armies, shoots and kills the scientist. Gorlin steals the serum intending to use it to create an army for war. Deciphering Dr. Marler’s dying words, Lamont finds Gorlin’s escape route aboard a clipper airplane (flying boat). Confronting the enemy agent, the two men play a deadly game of cat and mouse inside a small room. Tricked by The Shadow into believing he will soon become a deadly victim of the secret elixir he took, Gorlin jumps to his death five thousand feet in the air, taking with him all evidence of the doctor’s secret.
