* WomenDrivers: Referenced in the 1939 episode ''Ghosts Can Kill'', in which Lamont asks Margo for a lift in her car. We don't hear many sound effects, but Lamont chides her for driving too fast and comments he wanted her to pull ''up to'' the sidewalk, not ''onto'' it.

** The head of the crime ring in ''The Society of the Living Dead'' first displays uncanny competence in simply hanging back after seemingly [[BondVillainStupidity leaving the Shadow to his death]], overhearing the plan he makes, and countering it. Unfortunately he then decides to go back ''again'' to check on him, knowing the police are on the way, and is inevitably caught.
* Margo in ''Murder in E Flat, after getting a good lead on the bomber that's been terrorising the city, decides to go to his house on her own and get talked into going inside. Her being made a DamselInDistress was inevitable at that point, and it was pure luck that the Shadow received the message she'd left for him in time.



* PetTheDog: Despite relying primarily on stealth and terrorizing his opposition, The Shadow takes the time to comfort a young kidnapped boy and provide a handkerchief in Hounds in the Hills.
