The popular radio program "The Shadow" is brought to the screen with Richard Derr in the role of superdetective Lamont Cranston/The Shadow who can "cloud men's minds" so that he is invisible. This is an unsold pilot for a TV series that did not spawn the series–partly because of the low budget and poor production values. Cranston investigates the murder of a Latin American dictator in New Orleans. It turns out that the dictator faked his murder in order to bring the true leader out in the open so he could be killed. Rereleased four years later as "Bourbon St. Shadows" with additional material added.
