Synopsis for "To Cloud Men's Minds"

When a young theatrical genius starts producing a radio show about The Shadow, The Shadow pays him a visit to stop it. When he confronts the producer, he discovers two thugs robbing the box office. The thugs grab one of the stage actress as a hostage, and make a run for it. The Shadow and producer give chase, racing through the streets and ending up at Coney Island. A shootout occurs in the hall of mirrors, and the two are able to rescue the actress.

Trivia

• Grover Mills, the young theatrical genius, is an obvious portrayal of actor Orson Wells. Several aspects establish this: he is a radio announcer voicing The Shadow, the shootout in the hall of mirrors recreates a scene from Wells' film, "The Lady from Shanghai" and later Mills mentions of doing a radio stunt depicting an "invasion from Mars."
