The Shadow Strikes

The Shadow Strikes is the first film adventure of the mysterious pulp hero of radio and print fame. This time around, two thieves break into attorney Chester Randall's office safe but The Shadow (Rod La Rocque) foils the robbery and keeps the burglars at the scene of the crime until police arrive. Before The Shadow leaves, he receives a phone call meant for Randall, who is out of town. On the line is multi-millionaire Jasper Delthern (James Blakely), asking him to draw up a revised will. Just as The Shadow's alter-ego, Lamont Cranston, meets with Delthern, a sniper shoots the old man through the window, killing him instantly. Now Delthern's eleven million dollar estate is up for grabs, and his heirs promptly begin fighting over the fortune. At the same time, dubious underworld characters with seemingly no connection to the dead man start moving in to stake their claim - and, on top of all that, the police believe the mysterious avenger is to blame for the crimes. Can The Shadow crack this convoluted caper and clear his name? (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
