A rich man is killed in the process of writing his will. The phantom
crime-fighter, Lamont Cranston (a.k.a. the Shadow), finds numerous suspects -
each with their own motive for commiting murder. The trail of clues leads him to
a underground gambling ring linked to the killer. The police, suspicious of The
Shadow's motives, interfere with the investigation in an effort to discover his
true identity. The master of disguise is able to keep the detectives at bay long
enough to unmask the real culprits. The Shadow Strikes is the first film based
on the popular 1930's radio program. Rod La Rocque returned as the Shadow the
following year in International Crime.
