The Shadow

The Shadow himself is, in reality, Kent Allard, internationally famous aviator - but to no one, save his two Xinca Indian servitors, has this knowledge been given. For in his contacts with society, The Shadow takes on the guise of Lamont Cranston, big-game hunter and explorer. There is a real Lamont Cranston, but he spends most of his time in far-flung corners of the world; and it is with his permission that The Shadow adopts his identity.

Thus does The Shadow go forth to battle crime - to vanquish his foe of the underworld and make justice triumph. Trailing his actions is his weird, chilling laugh - the signal for the law to attack; the omen that makes crooks cringe in fear.

No matter what the crime, no matter how diabolical the plan, justice will triumph. Crime does not pay! The Shadow knows!
