The Shadow Fan

Plot Overview for Missing Lady aka The Shadow and the Missing Lady (1946):

This is the third in Monogram's series of B Shadow movies.

The story involves a murder mystery and "missing lady" which is a small
jade statue. Lamont Cranston, alias the Shadow, sets out to catch the killer but is blamed for the murders himself as each time he investigates some facet of the case another suspect is killed. Some bad attempt at comedy is made as Cranston taunts the police investigator by suggesting that he look for the "missing lady" and as the investigator insists no woman was taken from the crime scene. For some reason Cranston lets the misunderstanding persist until well into the movie.
