1Mysterious fires have been erupting around New York State, fires that seem to have a purpose. The Shadow follows the trails of the enigmatic arsons and faces down the Salamanders, a group of supercriminals who use fire as their weapon of burglary.

3* BatmanGambit [=/=] IndyPloy: The Shadow using the Salamanders' own dynamite-filled locomotive to thwart their villainous plot.
4* DistressedDude: Harry Vincent, [[OnceAnEpisode yet again]], is captured by the bad guys, who plot to throw him into a furnace. The Shadow shows up in the nick of time to rescue him. Really, Harry -- this is what, [[TooDumbToLive the 99th time or so you've been captured by the enemy?]]
5* KillItWithFire: Essentially the plan of the Salamanders. Their mooks set fires and during the chaos (and before the fire collapses the target building), they steal stocks in a company that the masterminds are trying to control.
6* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The Shadow riding an out-of-control train filled with dynamite, all the while shooting down the Salamanders who are trying to stop him. It turns out to be part of a plan to stop more innocent deaths.
7* MorallyBankruptBanker: Huxley Drune. He's ordering the Salamanders to burgle select buildings that contain shares in a company he wants to control, then has them burn the buildings down to cover up the thefts.
