The Shadow - "Prelude to Terror" (Old Time Radio)

The Shadow presents “Prelude to Terror,” originally broadcast January 29, 1939, and commonly cataloged as episode 145. This Mutual Broadcasting System drama stars William Johnstone as Lamont Cranston/The Shadow and Agnes Moorehead as Margot Lane, with Blue Coal as sponsor.

After a professor’s murder, a dangerous colorless gas is used to transform ordinary light bulbs into hidden weapons, spreading fear across the city. As panic creates openings for organized crime, The Shadow follows the trail from a laboratory to the criminals’ remote headquarters.

The Shadow presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
