Synopsis:
A hellhole known as the Island of the Devil harbors a hundred year old prison containing men who serve sentences reminiscent of the century before. Accused of being a spy, John Bart is serving a twenty-year sentence. He had no chance against the wealth and influence of Madame Renee — an old woman who is a guest on Lamont’s yacht. An official with a written pardon for Bart is also on board, but Madame Renee secretly knifes the official and throws his body in the water. Arranging for Bart’s escape from the island, she faces the escaped prisoner for her final crime — murder. The Shadow appears and attempts to save Bart’s life but Madame Renee removes a gun hidden in her dress and kills him. Angry, The Shadow informs her that as her voice of conscience, he will stay close to her from now on, tormenting and reminding her of the murder. Unable to cope with the torment, Madame Renee jumps overboard.
