ON THE AIR: April 7, 1940

 

Another lost episode and the final one of the third season.  A little trivia about this broadcast, Jeanette Nolan stood in for an ailing Marjorie Anderson.  This, according to Martin Grams' synopsis, seems to be a very strange episode involving an escaped lunatic bent on revenge.  He is a doctor who implanted a pituitary gland from an ape in an executed convict and brought him back to life.  One of the people intended for death is Commissioner Weston who, with the aid of The Shadow, tricks the killer into thinking he is in bed with the old 'pillows under the covers' trick.  Pretty sure I'd have to hear this to really understand the whole thing.  

Luckily for us, we have an almost complete Season 4 coming up.
