Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

The shadow knows. Ladies and gentlemen as we near the start of the happy holiday season

the Blue Call dealers of America wish you the members of their vast unseen audience, the merriest

Christmas ever, and they present as their special Christmas gift to you, a heartwarming

yule tide adventure of the shadow.

Before the shadow starts his adventure, I'd like to add my Christmas greetings to those of the blue-cold dealers of America. You know their product Blue Coal is the modern equivalent of the old-fashioned Ull Log. You can depend upon Blue Coal to bring warmth, good cheer, and comfort to your home 24 hours of the day.

And with each order of Blue Coal is included the free extra home heating service of your friendly blue coal dealer.

Is your bin well filled for the holidays?

If not, phone your neighborhood blue coal dealer first thing in the morning. The shadow, the mysterious character who aids the forces of law and order is in reality the Mount Cranston wealthy young men about town.

As the shadow Cranston is gifted with a hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so that they cannot

see him. Cranston's friend and companion,

The lovely Margot Lane is the only person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible shadow belongs.

Today's drama, Joy's Christmas Story. Uh, was there any particular destination you would want me to drive you to Mr. Crancer, hey?

I'm looking for Little Joey, the newsboy.

Oh, well, if it's a paper you want I could stop it.

No, no, we're looking for Joey, Trevi.

We have a special date within that we keep every Christmas season.

Oh, you mean like a rendez bull, huh?

That's right, Trevi.

Every year for the past three seasons, we've taken Joey on a tour of the toy sections of all the department stores.

Oh, well now, ain't that nice. You know, this time of year I get wishing I was a kid again myself.

Ain't that silly?
