Title: The Night Marauders
Air date: October 1, 1939
Plot summary: Someone attacks Margot Lane in her bed! In fact, two people. One, described as a short and very broad man with long arms, put a hand on Margot's neck, while the second ransacked her apartment.
She calls her boyfriend-but-the-show-won't-admit-it Lamont Cranston, who tells her it sounds like the Night Marauders, a pair of burglars who have been getting press coverage. The next night, the Night Marauders strike again, and this time their victim is killed. Lamont sets about investigating, since naturally Commissioner Weston and the cops are clueless. He realizes that the scenes of the burglaries all seem to be roughly the same distance from the city park. Lamont and Margot go to check out the park and hear a strange cry coming from the zoo--and that cry is the same cry that Margot heard as her home was being invaded. So who are the Night Marauders? A gorilla and a chimp, of course, trained by a deranged zoo guard named Joseph Jankro.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After The Shadow uses his psychic powers to undo Freddy's training, Jankro decides it would be a good idea to come into the cage with a whip and force Freddy to kill The Shadow. Freddy kills Jankro instead.

* OfficerOHara: The bumbling cop who has to tell Commissioner Weston that The Shadow actually called him from inside police headquarters has a strong Irish accent.
* PerceptionFilter: A smug Jankro tells The Shadow that while he can "cloud men's minds" and make himself invisible to Jankro, he can't do so to a gorilla. The Shadow says that's true, but he ''can'' override Jankro's training so that Freddy won't answer Jankro's commands to kill.

** A cop is stationed downstairs to guard Mr. Burns, the witness. Naturally, Burns is killed anyway.
** Weston doesn't connect the "Lamont Cranston=Shadow" dots, despite the fact that Lamont offered to help with the Night Marauders before The Shadow intervened, or that both Margot and Lamont were on the scene when The Shadow had his confrontation with Jankro.
** Weston and the cops conclude that The Shadow is the killer, based on Burns's dying words, even though The Shadow has helped them out innumerable times.
** Commissioner Weston also doesn't even bother to have the threatening note to Burns analyzed, writing it off as a fake by The Shadow. Overall, this is a pretty bad episode for the cops.
