Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

Well, greetings, everybody.

Welcome back to the show.

Today we continue our journey through the shadow with the play titled,

Guest of Death. And this one aired December 18th of

1938. Enjoy. Your local blue coal dealer presents the shadow. These half-hour dramatizations are

designed to possibly demonstrate to old and young alike

that crime does not pay. Day at the close of our shadow adventure, we have a distinguished guest

whom we are very anxious to present to our audience. Our guest is a very charming young lady who

spends her time preventing crime. I know you will all be interested to hear what she has to say.

So be sure to listen.

The shadow, mysterious character who aids those in distress, and helps the forces of law and order,

is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town.

Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margo Lane, is the only person who knows to whom the unseen voice belongs.

The only one who knows the true identity of that master of other people's minds,

the shadow. Today's story, guest of death.

Guard, this is certainly a tremendous prisoner, isn't?
