Synopsis:
Dr. Pace and Dr. Pierre Lamare are engaged in biological research at Madman’s Deep, a lake named for the legend of a madman who leaped from the cliffs into the water and was never found. Judith Lamare, daughter of the famed scientist, explains to Lamont that her father died in a boating accident, having spent much of his time in his onboard lab. She is now being blackmailed by Pace into allowing him to take over the family fortune in order to continue his scientific work, by threatening to expose the fact that she is not the dead man’s real daughter. Dr. Pace believes he has cultured a proterozoic extract that allows a patient to overcome death. With the help of a professional diver, Lamont submerges himself deep underwater and successfully finds the corpse and discovers he was shot in the head from behind. Back on the surface, The Shadow questions Mr. Teague, a trustee of the Biological Institute, to expose the truth. Teague killed the doctor and sunk the boat. Pace and Judith became speed bumps in Teague’s attempt to gain control of the Lamare fortune, and took desperate measures when the two started trying to claim the money.
