This is a movie about "The Shadow", aka Lamont Cranston. In my exhaustive 12 minutes of internet research I have learned that there is no real 'canon' of the Shadow. During his heyday of the 30's he took on several incarnations in print, radio, and film. In this, the second full length movie of the character, the Shadow does not have the ability to cloud men's minds, nor does he 'know'. The Shadow is the nom de plume and radio personality of Lamont Cranston, a self-proclaimed criminologist who has a daily newspaper column and radio show. He solves crimes to publicize that "crime doesn't pay" and because he enjoys embarrassing the police force.

An adventure revolving around a MacGuffin in China during the Sino-Japanese war.

An innocent fisherman takes the rap for a murder in a misguided attempt to protect his buddy. Prison, the probation system, and his own hot temper lead him toward a life of rule-breaking, if not actual crime. Ward Bond (Bert the Cop from IAWL) plays the bad guy.

Johnny's dad, sent by his wife to cross a picket line as a scab, is mistaken for a striker and gets into a tussle with a company goon. It is unclear what actually happened but a cop ends up dead and Johnny's dad ends up sentenced to the electric chair for first degree murder. Johnny falls in with the Dead End kids and eventually becomes involved in a crime spree. All turns out well in the end, except for Johnny's dad.

It's nice to find a good movie like this in my public domain diving. This one has Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Louis Hayward. A poor French girl, bankrolled by a would-be restaurateur, pretends to be a countess in order to trick a wealthy Canadian into marrying her. Go on out to archive.org and watch it.

A movie about navy buddies and trouble with women.

A propaganda film like Reefer Madness exhorting against the problem of "social diseases".
