The March 27, 1938, broad\u00adcast of \u201cThe Shad\u00adow\u201d<\/em> was enti\u00adtled \u2018The Hyp\u00adno\u00adtized Audi\u00adence\u2019<\/em>. The Shad\u00adow and his part\u00adner Mar\u00adgo Lane are embroiled in a plot to free a con\u00advict\u00aded mur\u00adder\u00ader by kid\u00adnap\u00adping the state gov\u00ader\u00adnor and hyp\u00adno\u00adtiz\u00ading him into free\u00ading the prisoner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dur\u00adga Khan, a mys\u00adtic and dancer from the Far East, is pre\u00adsent\u00ading a show in New York. He is renowned for his ori\u00aden\u00adtal danc\u00ading, but unknown to the pub\u00adlic, he\u2019s also a very pow\u00ader\u00adful mass hyp\u00adno\u00adtist. His open\u00ading night is a major soci\u00adety event. The police com\u00admis\u00adsion\u00ader West\u00adon is in the audi\u00adence. So is the Gov\u00ader\u00adnor. So is Lam\u00adont Cranston and Mar\u00adgo Lane. Cranston express\u00ades to Mar\u00adgo a cer\u00adtain sur\u00adprise that the gov\u00ader\u00adnor is present, because the state prison is prepar\u00ading to exe\u00adcute a noto\u00adri\u00adous crim\u00adi\u00adnal at mid\u00adnight that night, but a spe\u00adcial phone line has been run into the gov\u00ader\u00adnor\u2019s pri\u00advate box so that he is in con\u00adtact with the prison even as he watch\u00ades the performance.<\/p>\n

At one point dur\u00ading his per\u00adfor\u00admance, Dur\u00adga Khan lights a beau\u00adti\u00adful blue can\u00addle and invites the audi\u00adence to take part in a rit\u00adu\u00adal prayer-chant. Of course, this is how he hyp\u00adno\u00adtizes the entire audi\u00adence, includ\u00ading Mar\u00adgo Lane. The only one who shakes off his influ\u00adence is Cranston: he snaps out of it just in time to see a pair of men kid\u00adnap\u00adping the gov\u00ader\u00adnor. He is, how\u00adev\u00ader, unable to pre\u00advent the kid\u00adnap\u00adping, but he knows that Khan was, indeed, hyp\u00adno\u00adtiz\u00ading the house and that he must also have a hand in the kidnapping.<\/p>\n

To make a long sto\u00adry short\u00ader, the con\u00advict about to be exe\u00adcut\u00aded is the broth\u00ader-in-law of Dur\u00adga Khan. He has kid\u00adnapped the gov\u00ader\u00adnor and hyp\u00adno\u00adtized him into phon\u00ading the state prison and grant\u00adi\u00adng a stay of exe\u00adcu\u00adtion. Under the Shad\u00adow\u2019s direc\u00adtion, Mar\u00adgo Lane inter\u00adcepts the call, pre\u00adtend\u00ading to obey the gov\u00ader\u00adnor. The Shad\u00adow, of course, res\u00adcues the gov\u00ader\u00adnor, catch\u00ades the crim\u00adi\u00adnal Dur\u00adga, and informs him that the exe\u00adcu\u00adtion went for\u00adward on schedule.<\/p>\n
