The weed of crime, which once grew madly in the rich soil of the Great
Depression, is now withering on the streets of New York. A new factory
has sprung up among the shuttered sweatshops, sweeping the city's most
notorious criminals and desperate lowlifes into its employ. When The
Shadow's loyal operative Jericho Druke infiltrates the works, he finds
it run by a fascist, technocratic madman bent on fomenting the racial
tensions that threaten to shatter the United States. The Shadow and
his team must destroy this Factory of Death before its lethal product
poisons a nation.
