About this episode

Dive back into the dark, suspenseful world of Old Time Radio with "Nursery Rhyme Murders" (often referred to as "The Nursery Rhyme Murders"), a classic, chilling episode from The Shadow. 🕵️‍♂️ Synopsis When a series of bizarre crimes strikes the city, Lamont Cranston and his faithful companion, Margo Lane, discover a terrifying pattern: each sinister act is heralded by a innocent-sounding nursery rhyme. A twisted mastermind is turning childhood verses into clues for revenge and murder. To stop this killer before the final rhyme plays out, Cranston must adopt his alter ego—The Shadow—using his power to "cloud men's minds" to infiltrate the shadows, decode the killer's cryptic verses, and bring a criminal madman to justice.
