The shadow, who aids the forces of law and orders, in reality, Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town. Years ago in the Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret. The hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him. Trantston's friend and companion, the lovely Margo Lane, is the only person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible shadow belongs. Today's story is the caverns of death. Now, students, most of the visitors who come here to the cavern believe that the underground chamber which we are about to enter is one of the most magnificent of nature's wonder.

Hey, this is pretty impressive, isn't it? I'll say. Hey, gosh, take a look at the section we're entering now. It's as big as all outdoors. We've named this great natural hall. The God of fire, because of the pits that you see over there in the other center. From which major...

I think your class will find this the most interesting part of the cavern. Mr. Morley? Is it safe for me to bring my students any closer to the pit? Are the vapid's harmless? Sure, sure, it's just he. Hey, come on, fellas. Let's make a look at it. Come on, Paul.

Now, mind you, boys. She's not too close. Oh, it's all right, Mr. Mawley. There's a railing around the fence. A crater, approximately 100 feet in diameter, is truly one of the natural masterpieces of the entire South West. At the base of this pit is a pool of water, which is believed to be bottomless.

Bottom. The steam which you see rising before you Is emitted from cliffs in the rocky wall He's been seen by leaning slightly over the railing and looking down with Yeah, right, yeah Can you see him, Maddie? No, not yet Look, look at the rail's breaking.

We're falling! Hurry, please, honey! We're doing everything we can, but make a little bit more. Oh, it's just horrible, horrible. My entire class, 17, fine young men are down at the bottom of that pit. I don't know if they're a liable dead. No, take it easy. There still hope.

There ain't no body come up yet. Oh, but the rescue parties have been down there for over an hour, or there ought to be some word. It takes a long time to drag the pool, you know. Oh, here comes to one of the rescue squad now. Hey, Harry, what's happened down there? Yes, yes, what's the news? Well, we dragged the pool up down and over again.

Yes, there wasn't one single body to be found. Tell me a back to the plane to me. Yes. Thank you. How to do, Miss Lane? Oh, Professor Morley, I'm so sorry. I heard about the dreadful thing that happened yesterday. I can't tell you how badly I feel.

Oh, it's horrible. It's inconceivable. I still can't believe it's true. Has there been any further word of the boys? No, none of them found. Not even their bodies. That's what makes it so horrible. I can't understand.

Is it all my fault? I should never have taken them to the cavern. You mustn't say in yourself, Professor. You couldn't for you to do the danger. How am I going to face the parents of those poor boys? I know. It's sad for everyone. Some of the parents were arriving on this train has just landed.

Will you excuse me? I must meet them. I'm expecting a friend on this train myself. Good day, Misset. Good day, Misset. Oh, maud. Oh, maudel. Oh, Lamar.

Oh, Lamar. Oh, Lamar. I'm disgustingly, healthy. Must be his mountain air. It's so nice to see you. Oh, I'm glad you were able to come out. I know you'll just love the club. I'm sure that...

The way, I read in this morning's paper about an accident in the cabin. What's the latest on it? Not a thing. I was talking to Professor Morley just before you arrived. Oh, here's the man in charge of the crime? Yeah. And they found any trace the boys yet?

None. Mm-hmm. But here's the car. Get in? Will you drive? Certainly. Follow the road to the left. It leads straight to the car.

Uh, a cabin for the same road Yes, they are. Why did you ask? But I... Well, maybe I'd stop. Take a look at them. Lamont, what's your purpose in stopping? I know you too well to think it's more the curiosity. There's several things about this accident that I'd like to understand more fully.

What things, Lamont? I wonder if anyone has taken the trouble to find out exactly how those young men fell into the pit. Well, yes, of course. The railing broke and the rim of the crater gave way. Isn't that rim solid rock? Yes, I didn't sell. I was strange that you could collapse, don't think? I hadn't thought of them.

Even more important. Why hasn't any trace of those young men been found? Well, they're supposed to have fallen into a bottomless pool. Strange fool that refuses to give up its dead. There must be something mysterious about that pit, Margot, and when we reach the caverns, I intend to find out what it is. I shouldn't be taking you in here. These caverns were officially closed after the accident.

So nothing has been discovered yet? No, ma'am. There was a party down there about an hour ago. We didn't find a thing. Here we are. This is the pit. That's it. That must be the place where the rim gave well.

Yes, ma'am, that's it. It broke off very even, legend. Yes, rocks do that sometimes Mine's not examine it Well, you can't go near there That's all then I will Tell me, how did the searching party get into the pit?

Rope ladder Over on the other side The bottom of the pit entirely covered by the pool There's a wide ledge on one side That's why the searching party went down over there Wait me up here, Margot Where are you going? The bottom of the pit

That's pretty risky going down there alone But he's not going alone Well, I'm not going with him I know I am But Margot I'm going with you Lamarge Well, if you've made up your mind I know better than to argue with him

Here's the letter. What about these papers, guard? Are they very hot? No, after you're down 20 feet, you'll be past them anyhow. Well, here we go. I'll leave the way. Careful when you start, Margot. He's so bad at the tricky.

You're going, Ma'am, I'm right behind you. I'll be a lot happier when you pass through these papers. Yes, it's that. Oh. What's the matter? I almost slipped. Heaven's Margaret, be careful. Yes, I will.

There. We'll be out of the papers. How far is it to the bottom? I use my flashlight. I'm a little way now. The lead to directly below it. A voice is down Spain down here. Hollow.

Like a tool. That's what it is, Margo. And... On the lead, easy enough. And you go down. Thank you. I want to step. You're not going to sit there.

I know. That's how everything feels down here. I hear in cold. Take those. All right, Lamar. It's the pool. It looks so black and sinister. And it's easy to believe that it's bottomless.

And we're starting this direction and circle the pool. All right. All right. It's dark down here. Come on. Did you hear that? Yes. Yes, I did.

What was it? Don't know. Seems to be kind of a fool on our right. Who's there? I'll smash that on it. No answers. Look, Lamar. Someone's slinging to the edge of the pool.

Oh. Suppose it could be one of the... We'll see. Take it like my dog. I'm not the water. Oh, I don't know. Come on. Do you want?

Lamont. It is one of the shoes. I know it is. I've seen him around the village. Please. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. Take it easy.

We'll get you. You are not the others. Are they alive? You understand me, how they're alive? Reeling, breaking. We're falling. He's a very sick boy. Get him out of that quickly.

I call the guy. Hello? Boy, spare it. You can tell us there. How about it? What is it? You're expected to get into the lower level of the cabin? Boy's body?

They're in there? Yes. As I do? They under mine. They were dropped. In the cavern, they were taken through the secret doors. Exactly. Like, carefully along that wall.

Projecting rock, make you. You're behind. No, we won't know, until we get beyond these walls. They're completely around the rock. That's done. You started to go? Yeah, so easy, they know. How did he have been ordered?

These caves in trouble. I think they'll give us a crew to the complete disrepair to the student. Wouldn't he say time if he'd be strict to get a car? No, no, no. You'd better for you to remain here at the entrance to the pit, and you can guide me back to the sound of your voice. Very well. I'll follow this Patrick's search.

You won't call to me once in a while, so I don't go too far. All right. He locked in his awful place. These men are dangerous. But stop it nothing. There's something I wanted to do He'll have to risk that possibility Remember you told me to keep him working all night?

Yeah I want to have a talk I still like to know how he didn't even see him go The excuse doesn't satisfy me Okay Your God, about enough To have to get down Hand me that whip

I'm got the breed of this gas which destroys their willpower We're working them like slaves day or night You need to show himself And they give up all we've been worst before You'd be there is mistaken Just how do you think you can stop it? Oh, the owners of the cabins? We hated my part and this thing from another to gover.

I'm not sorry I killed them both. Two persons living or dead is purely...
