The shadow, mysterious character, wades those in distress and hopes the forces of lore and order is in reality Le Manscrantre. Worldly young man about town. Plantsden friend and companion, the lovely Margaux Lane, is the only person who knows to whom the unseen voice belongs. The only one who knows the true identity of that master of other people's minds, was shadow. Today's story. How tough fun. How tough just tell me you wanted to see me, Mr. Fang? Shut up.

1:00You're not better than to mention my name along here. Oh, I'm sorry, boy. Something special you wanted? Yes, nothing. I came here to the carnival to find out why all the delays were cheap. You had your orders three weeks ago. I sent you a complete description of the man I wanted you to kidnap. But you ain't been there when I came. I came out here to the house and never mind the alibi. Now I want that man and I want that tonight. Yes, boss. It's worth a million dollars to me, Lopton. A million dollars. A million bucks. How do you figure that out? Never mind. Just do as you're told. When my plans are completed, Lopton, I rule the world. I rule the world. Oh, get me that man tonight. Hey, boss. Hey, boss. Hey, boss. Just try to try your luck. Folks, order your dice. Get just a taste of it. It's part of a dollar. All you do is hit the funny man. That's it. Oh, just move in the little potion. I said, right there before your time, Sylvia, the lovely little lady from the west, the

2:03glam of India. And the dancer's mostly dancing. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, you're adjusting time for the one-the-souls. I'm ready to put some almond in, wait. No, wait a minute. I'm having a wonderful time. It is, but it didn't work out. I haven't been to our country con. I wasn't there for 10 years old. They look. There's a hot dog stand that we missed. You want one? I haven't finished his ice cream and root beer, yes. Oh, it's this year. I should say not. Getting two hot dogs. Okay, we hold these two blankets in this bridge right? You know, I'm going to take these dogs and candy boxes too. What about the set of dishes? I'm fading those into hot dogs. The mom, you're a regular Annie Oakley. Annie Oakley was a woman. Then you're a brother. Can I try it? Sure. Let's have another gun, will you? Hey, you're not there. No big quiz. See a whole list thing. Hey, you're going to be your gym. You're shorter. Oh, yeah, that's it. Now, by your way. Here goes.

3:07They are not the hot dogs that don't they? Don't look now, darling, but that's the proprietor. Anytime, Ogden? Fire, unjustly. Every day. How about trying this place? How loud? By God. It's thrilling. It's killing an alarm from beginning to end. So step by the book. It's the hilarious house of fun. Succeeds. Yes, sir. The gentleman gets two tickets and hears your James. Thank you. Come on, come on to the hilarious house of fun. Are you going this way, Nogel? Yes, sir, Nogel, come on. Come on. What happened to me, please? Anything. So be prepared for it. Oh, look, Nogel. Isn't that James Tennyson just the head of it? Tennyson? Yes, you know, president of Tuttle Steel. Oh. Why? Of course it is. Come on, I want to say hello to him. All right. Hello, Mr. Tennyson. Hey. Don't you remember me, Nogel? I'm sure, Mr. A. Oh, I do fake your pardon. You look just like an acquaintance of mine, James Tennyson.

4:08Oh, that's a big business, fellow ain't it? Yes. When I don't blame you, lots of focus always mistaken me for him. You know, my wife's there. She wishes it was him. If on the money by Cheebie. I do apologize, I know. Yeah, think nothing of it. Good day. Good day. That... This makes you feel a little fooly. Yes. Well, come on. Let's face the spook, huh? Oh, stay close to me, Nogel. I'm not. It's so dark in here. We'll just follow our friends. Well, let his light suit be our guide. Memor, what's that? Just a skeleton. Ignore him, Ignore him. Oh, yeah. Do you hear what I hear? Oh, well, just a... just a light. Oh, yeah. Sure. What's that awful thing in front of it? Where? Right there, look. That creepy head was turning on me. Oh, if I tell you, we'll promise not to be upset.

5:09Yes. That's you. Me? Yeah. You're looking into one of those distorting mirrors. Oh, ho, ho. Go ahead and laugh. I don't look so pretty in it yourself. Oh, is that so? Don't be panic, baby. It's dark. Why are they calling these places fun houses? That because it's so much fun when you get out of them. Here, here, let's open it. What's that? Oh, Brenda, the head must be getting scared. My throat. My throat. My throat. Don't be afraid. Mother, come on. What is it? I don't know, but it doesn't sound right. Something's happening to that man. Look ahead, Le Mans. He's being pulled through a door in the wall. Stop. Stop, I say. It's... it's gone. Are you sure you saw him disappear through this wall? Oh, yes, of course. There's no door here. It must be a sliding panel. Open up. Open up in there. What's going on? A man just disappears through a panel in this wall. What's the matter with your brother? Is this place gotten here? Who are you? Well, I'm the manager here.

6:09And you can take my word that the rank no secret panel. Well, we saw him disappear. What do you look like? Middle-aged man wearing a likely suit. Why that fellow just left the place? I passed him on the way in here. Are you sure? Of course I am. That's funny. Why shouldn't it be funny, brother? This is the house of fun. Your mom, you're not eating anything. No, I won't for another week. Why not? Have you forgotten our little orgies, the carnival of the night? Twelve hot dogs, six-bowls and cussed, four bags of peanuts and a knuckle on a stick. The mind should slip. Yes, I guess so. The way the stock market is behaving this week hasn't helped my appetite either. I thought the market was going up. It is. But there are a few companies that are solving successful enterprises. Yet the stock's been a complete note that these past few weeks. Oh, fine. I don't know. Is there room for that as the result of bad business used by the president of the company?

7:12Bad business deal. Yes. I think what's happening to the poor man is voting those stocks. The butcher and the baker. And even the employees of the companies. What are these companies? Well, they just start to tumble as tuddle steel. Well, isn't the president of tuddle steel a chapter? You thought we saw the carnival? Yes. James Tennyson. I still think I saw that man who looked like him disappear through that panel. And I still believe you. We couldn't do anything about it. The money. And? Speak of the devil. What do you mean? Look, the two men getting up from that table. Isn't one of them are missing man from the carnival? Why so it is? How pathetic coincidence. Then we were wrong about it. It looks that way. Oh, look, they're coming toward us. Can we tell him about the scary, David? Sure, why not? Hello there. Hey. You remember me, don't you? We show you the other night at the carnival. I'm sorry. You must be mistaken. Come on, Mr. Tennyson. I have got to catch that lady.

8:12Yes, yes. Excuse me, what do you want? Oh, yes. I'm certain. Oh, what was all that about? I don't know. Another man called him Mr. Tennyson. You think them up again? No, I haven't. That wasn't James Tennyson. That's the man we saw at the carnival. Then why did he call him by name? Because he wanted me to think he was Tennyson. He didn't know that Tennyson knows me. This is like coming in in the middle of a moving picture. I don't get it. I don't either, Margo, but I'm going to. I'm positive that man was the chap we saw at the carnival. Then why should he say he wasn't? That's something for the shadow to learn. By paying a visit to the carnival again tonight. I'd like to know what you're going after, Margo. Well, Margo, it's weird and fantastic, but I have the feeling that this house of fun that we're heading for

9:15is somehow mixed up in the stock scrolling. Often the companies I was telling you about. How? Well, this is pure supposition mind-hobes. But wouldn't it be possible that someone, someone who was interested in having those stocks decline, could dispose of the real presidents of the companies and substitute a person who looked and acted like it? Oh, a month. That's unbelievable. That remains to be seen. Now, here we are. You better wait in the car, Margo. What are you going to do? The shadow has some serious business. In the house of fun. Hello. Oh, yeah, boss. What's that? A girl. But what machine look like? Dark, medium height. Slammed it. Okay. I'll be on the lookout. Just send me a picture of an Al to the rest.

10:16Sure. Goodbye. Goodbye. Oh, yeah. Here's a tire some business Mr. Loft. Who's that I did Mr. Loft? Where are you? I'm standing right beside you. Beside me? But I don't see anyone. That's because I've clouded your mind. You can't see me. Who are you? I am known as the shadow. The shadow? I... I've heard of you. You can't be seen. I was listening to your conversation on the telephone Loft. Well, kidnapping is a rather serious offense these days. Kidnapping, yes. That is your work, isn't it? No, no. Your eye. Hey, what are you trying to do to me? I hate crook and see. I'm on an illegitimate business. It's a house of fun where people come and enjoy themselves. Where people come to be kidnapped, you mean? You. You don't know what you're talking about. I know that some people have come into this place. And never would see anyone. Now you're all right. I can throw what I'm saying Loft. To the police. Yes. You can save your protest for that. And no, wait. Don't try me and I'm honest, I tell you. I don't know what happened to those people who disappeared.

11:17Then you'll do it, but they disappear. Yeah, yeah. I just... Oh, baby, say my orders. What are your orders? Well, they give me a description of a guy, see? Then I keep a watch for someone who looks like him. Sometimes that takes weeks. Then when I see one, I give the chip off and they snatch him and he goes through the house of fun. Oh, are they? They. The men I'm working for. They only show. And these doubles that you watch, see? Are they the doubles of any specific people? Usually a big businessman or something. Why do they want these doubles? I don't know. I just talk to everything. Not everything, Loft. Who's behind all? No, no. No, I can't tell you who is the man that you just spoke to on the phone. The man you called, boss. Please, please. I can't. And you'll tell the police in the morning. I already have your information as a kid. Never, Mr. Loft. I'll tell you. But you've got to protect me. Who's behind this? My, my boss is Mr. B... You will never know, Shadow. You will never know.

12:35You see anything in that paper, Marvel? Not a word. Samara, you sure Loftin was murdered? Of course I saw him die. It was three days ago. And not a line in any newspaper about his death. I did learn one thing today, you know. What's that? The late Mr. Loftin's house of fun has left the carnival. Where did it go? I don't know. Well, you suppose I'd just gone out of business? No, I don't think so. And place has been too good of foyer for the activities of the heads of this mob. Whether they may be. Well, and what do you think? They've undoubtedly moved to another city. They just have to find out when. That should be a nice job. How many cities are doing this country? Oh, it won't be that involved. The agents, you know, who book all these carnivals? Well, it makes you think that these agents would give you the information. Well, if we were to go to their office looking for work. You mean this performer? Exactly. The Flying Cranston's, Marvel, that's a wonderful title. Come on, get your hat. Okay, partner. The Flying Cranston's are taking their first engagement. All right, up.

13:40Now, now, now, now, now, it's the day. How about me, man? Charlie, you keep in touch with the office. I think we can get your 20 weeks at Bourne's Womba Show. Oh, wow. Who did you want to say? Well, we don't know exactly. I can't. What was it about? The work, of course. What do you do? We're an aerial nobody, I guess. Flying Cranston. Flying Cranston? Never heard of you. Never heard of you, huh? Never heard of the Flying Cranston's. He came to the hall wide, he fires a gravity there, there was a bridge, and one... One, two, one. There was a bridge. I still never heard of him. Well, Mr. Lutton told us to see him. Lutton? Yes, he's the profile of the house of fun. Oh, Charlie Lutton. Yes, that's right. Good old Johnny Lutton. Well, I'll have to see the actor before I could book the book here, and I'll have to realize that. Or by the way, he has to. Where is Johnny Lutton? I haven't seen him in months, but his show is up at the Winkler County Fair. Winkler County Fair. Thanks, gentlemen, very good. I guess we've never been to the Trapese Hall all along. And you know how Trapese is. Are you can't leave him for a minute? I told you last. Why? I will be in the sea again, goodbye. It's a bye. It's a bye.

14:40It's a bye. It's a bye, guys. Well, the man who we supposed to be this time. What do you mean? Well, are we the Flying Cranston's? No, no. The Flying Cranston's back in the trunk. What does that time say? Trapese is just ahead. Good. But I have another impersonation for you, Margot. What's that? When I saw Lutton the other night, he received a phone call from the head of a mob. Yes. And I gathered that he was told to look for another victim. I see. This victim was to be a doer. Dark, medium height, slender. Well, I could be anyone. Could be me. Exactly. Oh, now I get it. You want me to... Only if you want to, Margot. It's liable to be a very dangerous task. Well, I can only clean it a high-wire, daredevil supreme. No, this is no joking, Margot. These men are killers. Why do you suppose they want a girl this time?

15:40Well, if my theory is correct. If they're kidnapping their victims and parming them off as the big business tycoons that they resemble, then the next company to receive their attention is the amalgamated perfumes. Well, that's a shot in a dark, isn't it? None as well as it sounds. The only big business woman who answers to your description is Dorothy Andrews, the young socialite who runs the company. I see. And you want me to visit the house of fun. Yes. And I want them to think you're alone. I'll follow behind you as the shadow. They attempt to kidnap you. I can step in and get the evidence. I need them the entire gang. Will you do it? Will I? I'm practically being in through that sliding panel right now. I'm sick doing every minute in the hilarious house of fun. It's thrilling, it's killing, and it's a last-protech, giving so head. Go ahead, Margot. Say what, please. A little lady wants.

16:40Do you all alone, miss? Yes, isn't that loud? Oh, sure. Sure, here's your ticket. Go right in. Go right in. Hey, Papa. Yeah, say it left, James. She's just for the big guy. You're the killer. Sure. Honey, honey, honey, this is the house of fun. It's thrilling and it's taking a job. Pardon me, miss. Yes. Is this here a very scary place or going in there? Well, let's spend the wood for you. Well, I thought it was real honest, the goodness fun house. I don't like to look all the important things. To spooky. Well, oh, man, you just took a close to me. I won't let them bite you. Thanks. Thanks. It's dark, isn't it? Yes. Say it, Dave. What's that? I don't know, but I don't like it either. Uh-huh. Say now, don't go too fast. You'll believe in me behind. Oh, sorry.

17:40Look over there. What? Oh, let go of me. I'll keep quiet. No, I'll keep quiet. No, I'll keep quiet. Now you'll get to open next panel. There you go. No, the LNG. The mom! The mom! You're not cute. The mom. The mom. The mom. The mom. The mom. The mom. The mom. Now you listen to me. You are supposed to be James Tinnifle. You're here. You're supposed to be James Tinnifle. I am supposed to be James Tinnifle. You are going to your office tomorrow and set us yourself American property. Ah, ah, what? You are going to settle this self-american property. I am going to sell the self-american property. You will obey my instructions. I will. I will. Sir. No. No. I'm not telling you. I'm not telling you.

18:40I am not telling you. I can't do this. I am. I am. I am. I am. Listen, you fool. If you are trying to keep your village again, mind your game, your freedom. You have better forget it. If you don't, when you have complete your job for me, I show the support of you as I have the other. Now, obey me. Concentrate on what I think. Look at me. Look into my eyes. Now, keep up the mean. I am. Game in. I am James Tennyson. I will obey my instructions. I will obey my instructions. And I will follow. You may go now. Yes. Yes. I am. I am. I am. I am.

19:41I am. I am. I am. Yes. How is he out here? He has that game from the carnival with him. Send him in. Come in. Hello, boys. I hate you. Good work. Bring it over here. Come on, you. All right. Sponsored. Here. And. Here. And. Here. Now. Do I have to leave? Yes. Well, I must compliment you, Papa, on your selection. You are practically a double for the other skills. Yes, he is. What? What's the meaning of this? No, just take it easy, young lady. Nobody's going to harm you. If you do, it's your tool. What do you mean? You will see. Okay, Papa. You made outside. Yes. Take a seat, Mr. It's no. No. But I want to know. I do the talking for a while, Miss Lee. Miss Lee. That's not a very good name for you. I think you'll have to change that. Change my name.

20:41From now on, you're renowned as Dorothy Andrews. Please, please, tell me why you brought me here. Look at this photograph. Why? Look at it, I say. Do you notice anything unusual about it? Why? Why, it looks like me. It's sexy. That's a photograph of Miss Dorothy Andrews, a young society girl. We separated into very, very large, 13 companies. Well? Well, as I told you from now on, you are Dorothy Andrews. No. You can't keep me here. Oh, but I can. She's also found through. And as for help reaching you, well, the look out of that bean show. Oh, that is always for this treat, is a long time. Now that you listen to me. No, I'll get help from you. You can't do this. We will dispose of the reason Miss Andrews tonight. Tomorrow you will go to her office and take a plea. But how do you expect me to fool? That's my job. You would have paid my order. I have a complete file here. I've already had a critical of business deal. But how could I learn them until short of time?

21:42I will teach you. And our lesson can begin right now. Look at me, young lady. No. Look at me, I say. Look, into my eye. No. No, I won't do it. You will. That is. Look at me. You'll fit me. Don't look at him, Marko. What is that? Yes, Andrews. You remember me, I say. Remember you? Yes, from the night that you killed John Lovton. I don't know. What you're talking about. I've been listening to your conversation with the young baby van Duren, right? Quite a racket, you're running. What do you mean? After killing your own people at the heads of big corporations? Hypnotizing them into ruining these corporations for your personal. Okay, very safe. Oh no. You're the one whose candidate should be questioned, Mr. Van Duren. What do you want with me, Shado? First, I want you to release that girl. Then I shall turn you over to the police. Oh, not the John. Do you think that I am going to be frightened by you? A Shado that doesn't even dare show himself to me.

22:42We shall see. I know your power, Shado. The power of his notice. But mine is a strong assure. I shall post you to become beautiful. Here of proven Buren. And I'll prove it to you. I'm standing all right in front of this desk. Here, I'll pick up this pen to prove it. You sound. My eyes are on a level with yours. Now, make me become visible. Make me. I will. I will. You shall become visible, Shado. You shall. You're eager with greater than your talent, Van Duren. Can't prove this to me. Shado, why'd you go up? How did you like that, Shado? Shado. What? He's not a dancer. He's not a dancer. I'm guilty. No. No. You didn't even hit me. I'm Van Duren. I'm over here by the window now. You're out for a shot, Van Duren. No more bullets. I'll get you.

23:42I will get you anyway. Where's the net window? He's coming out to you. Van Duren. Van Duren. He's far out of the street. Very story. Tell my mother. I'm taking you home. Come on, come on. What if Commissioner Weston had the sailor, Martin? They found the riums, the Tennyson, and several other victims all alive in Van Duren's hideouts. The only murder committed was the one of the House of Funds. The case is officially closed. Oh, good. Well, how about a little relaxation, Martin? It's something to take our minds off the events of the past few days. I love it. Any special place you'd like to go? Yes. A country carnival. The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.

24:49Crime does not pay the shadow noise.
