Notes and References
- This is Margot Stevenson's debut on The Shadow Radio Show. Margo Lane was based on the stage actress. In 1937 Stevenson was dating Clark Andrews, a radio producer working on the radio show. It was Andrews who introduced the character of Margo Lane (named after Stevenson) as the girlfriend of the hero, Lamont Cranston.
- In this episode Stevenson is the voice of "Isabelle Colby." She later took over the role of Margo Lane and played the part for 26 episodes in 1938.
