Plot[]
Six wealthy people have committed suicide. A former professor of Lamont Cranston's believes the deaths occurred because they each touched a cursed idol from a sacred temple. Later, the professor is found dead too. When The Shadow investigates, he seeks the professor's wife and discovers that she and her husband, who faked his own death, are behind the six killings. They wanted to erect a temple in India devoted to Djaruti, goddess of death and needed the wealthy people's money to do so.
