ON THE AIR: January 21, 1940


 This is the one where Margo makes Lamont do something he doesn't want to do and then she accidentally stumbles in and aids The Shadow while... huh, sounds like any number of episodes from this run of the show.  A bit of eerie mystery sprinkled liberally with some slapstick with some inept police work and VOILA... another Johnstone and Anderson classic.  Okay, maybe I'm being a bit glib here but Margo, Shrevvy and Weston all being fools starts to get a bit old.  Perhaps if I hadn't listened to this so many times I'd be less sarcastic but still, this isn't nearly as good as the Welles' tales.  But that may just be me.  What say you about "The Precipice Called Death"?
