Season 2, Episode 9 - MOBSMEN ON THE SPOT

 


"Like yourself," came the low voice, "I am a man whose name has been

forgotten. We shall speak no more of years gone by.

You are now Clifford Marsland. I am"—the voice halted impressively—

"The Shadow!"

The Shadow wages war with racketeers and corrupt unions

in another tale torn from the headlines, in 1932's timely

crimeland epic: "Mobsmen On The Spot!" To do so, he recruits

a new agent, Cliff Marsland! An ex-con who reveals fascinating

insights into the past of the man behind The Shadow! 



We're getting mighty close to the conclusion of this

season of The Shadowcast! As you know, 'The Pulp Avenger' is the

theme of season 2, and as such, we're covering the first 10 Shadow

stories in order. "Mobsmen On The Spot", as such, represents the

penultimate edition of season 2's trip down Pulp Junction. 

Be sure to tune in next time for the climactic conclusion!
