"The Chinese Disks"


 "Say, that guy gave me the creeps. But he's an ace. If he wasn't, Moe Shrevnitz wouldn't be drivin' no cab today. Tell me what he wants. I'm game for it."

Years after his first defeat by The Shadow, Diamond Bert Farwell gets out of jail on good behavior. He then rigs up a system of Chinese disks to identify his agents and steal and sell large quantities of jewels. By the use of various disguises he evades the law.  But The Shadow counters by using a variety of agents, some for the first time, to break up the crime ring.  By the end of the adventure, Bert's final disguise is pierced by The Shadow and is shot by our hero, never to rise again.
