It's New Year's, 1950... the end of a tumultuous decade. Lamont
Cranston, the man that the world and the underworld know all too well
as The Shadow, has had enough. It's time for the mysterious nemesis of
crime to hang up his cloak, his slouch hat, and his twin .45s, and
retire from public life. But despite this momentous decision, Margo
Lane and the rest of The Shadow's agents fear that mankind, teetering
on the brink of nuclear Armageddon, may not be quite ready to be
bereft of the dark avenger.
