Notes

Continuity: During the investigation of the murder at the museum, a policeman working for The Shadow alternately wears his "Shadow" ring on his right/left hand as he leaves to send a message to The Shadow (the establishing shot shows it to be worn on his right hand). (more)

Trivia:
The empty office with B. Jonas on the door (supposedly located in a building somewhere on 23rd Street in Manhattan) was the main drop-box for reports from The Shadow's agents in the pulps. These reports were collected by Burbank, The Shadow's contact man, who passed messages back and forth between The Shadow and his agents. (more)
