Description

Air date: March 20, 1938A mysterious group that calls itself "The White Legion" breaks into the office of a government bureaucrat named William Deven, and takes him away. The White Legion then gives Deven a "trial" for crimes committed against them, after which they murder him.Meanwhile, there have been threats made against assistant DA Alton Parker. It seems that Collins is about to start a murder trial against one Red Collins, who is accused of killing political boss Al Houseman. Someone doesn't want that trial to begin. Some suspect that it's the White Legion who is attempting to stop the trial. Sure enough, goons from the White Legion show up in broad daylight and kidnap Parker. Lamont Cranston, who is on the scene with Margo Lane when Parker is snatched, springs into action. He realizes that newspaper Hartney Clays, a newspaper editor who is strangely interested in the Parker case despite previously soft-pedaling the White Legion story, must be involved in the group. Soon The Shadow has traced Parker to a chapel by the waterfront, where the White Legion is holding another trial.Notes: This is the end of the "first season" of The Shadow, although the show picked up with a "summer series" the very next week. It was also the end of Agnes Moorehead's first run as Margo Lane, although she returned when "Season Two" started in September.
