THE VANISHING SHADOW
12 CHAPTER SERIAL
1934

A little known and under rated 12 chapter serial in which a son avenges the death of his father at the hands of corrupt politicians. An impressive early bit of science fiction.

PLOT:
Electrical engineer, Stanley Stanfield, brings his newest invention to famous electrical wizard, Carl Van Dorn. He shows him a vest-like apparatus that enables the wearer to vanish, leaving only a shadow. With the aid of the machine, the pair set out to bring about the downfall of power-crazed, money-mad Wade Barnett and his crony Dorgan, whose political activities, through a vicious smear campaign, had hounded Stanfield's father to death. However, Stanfield's efforts are complicated by the fact that his girlfriend, known to him as Gloria Grant is really Barnett's daughter, who has rejected her father and goes by an alias. Along the way, he develops a wide variety of complex devices in his crusade, including ray guns and robots as well as the vanishing belt.
