Synopsis[]
After a thirty year absence, The Shadow returns to New York as a machine-gun-toting angel of death when he hears the news that his former agents, in their old age, are being targeted by an assassin. The Shadow, not looking a day older than when he disappeared in the early 1950s, is accompanied by Harry Vincent, Margo Lane and some new agents in solving the mystery behind the murders.
