The Judge sentencing Pierre Martin to a hundred lashes for trying to escape Devil's Island.
[Yells] On this day, December 22, 1913, by order of the authority of Devil's Island, you, Pierre Martan, are hereby sentenced to one hundred days in confinement solitaire.
[Yells] And a hundred lashes in the presence of the assembled prisoners, as a warning to all who would attempt to escape. Let the punishment begin.

A famous Doctor who escaped prison with three others, is now being hunted down by a murderer who helped him escape.
Hello, Dr. Evans speaking.
I'm not. I've been hoping you'd get in touch with me. That statement I issued... was false.
There was a very grave reason. I need your help. An old acquaintance of mine, Raymond Dubrille, the financier has received a death threat.Dubrille, stop pounding on the table and cursing Corvet.
Gentlemen, this is no time to argue. I have something more important to tell you.
Mantan, Dubrille, now listen to me. A moment ago we were talking about the Shadow. Well, he isn't dying. I didn't operate on him. I announced that hoping the real Shadow would get in touch with me.You're wrong, Dubrille, you're wrong. Because I am a doctor I can readily accept the fact that the Shadow is a master of the powers of mental suggestion. Of mass hypnosis. Recent experiments have proven conclusively that ...
One of the four covicts who escaped from Devil's Island and now threatened to be killed by Jacques Corvet.
Don't concern yourself about my fate, Dubrille. I am not afraid of Corvet.
[Laughs] I wonder what it's like to die? What do you think, Dubrille, or do you ever think of anything but your fat stomach and your money?
What is it, Evans? I hear you had quite an experience today. Operated on this man who calls himself The Shadow.[In Pain, being wiped with a Lash]
[Scraeming in Pain] I will find the devil who betrayed me. [One, Gets Lashed] I will learn his name. [Two, Gets Lashed] [Crying] I will kill him! [Three, Gets Lashed] I will find him and kill him [Four, Get's Lashed] I will kill him! [VOICE GROWING PROGRESSIVELY ANGRIER AND WEAKER](Pretending to be Corvet – Don’t sound like Martan)
Dubrille, Dubrille, wake up, I have come for you.
That gun in your hand won't save you, Dubrille. If I die I will take you with me.
Oh? You also betrayed me to the police, you told them where to find me. And I am not the only one you betrayed, am I, Dubrille? You betrayed Martan the time he tried to escape alone, didn't you, Dubrille.
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt this program of organ music to bring you a special newsflash from our affiliated press service. New York, December 12, 1937. The Shadow has been found. Dr. James Evans, world famous child surgeon, told reporters this afternoon that a wounded man who claimed to be The Shadow forced his way into Dr. Evan's private clinic, and at the point of a gun, forced him to remove a bullet. The wounded man then revealed that he was none other than that mysterious character who has waged a one man war against crime, The Shadow. Before Dr. Evans could report the case to the police, however, the Shadow mysteriously disappeared.
The famous surgeon believes the Shadow has little chance of surviving his wound. Our organ recital now continues....
Good afternoon, Miss Lane.
No, Miss Lane, he's not.He may be at his club.
Well, his office?Well, is there anything I can do?
Yes, miss.
Yes, miss?
I beg you pardon, miss, but are you another reporter?I'm sorry miss, but Dr. Evans has nothing to say to the press. He's not at home.
I'm sorry.Yes, miss
I'm not at liberty to say, Miss.
Okay Miss!
Where to?That's a doctor's car, miss. I may have to break a lot of traffic laws if it goes through red lights.
Okay, lady, but this is going to be one fast ride.What do you want me to do? Go through the gates after it?
Okay.
[Glad] Hey, thanks, ma'am.
One of the four who escaped Devil's Island. Dubrille has been threatened by Jacques Corvet.
[Nervous] Oh, that's all very well for you to say, Evans. Your turn hasn't come, but it will. If we three sitting here you, or me or Martan, don't get Corvet when he comes here tonight, you will be next on his list. You or Martan.
[Annoyed] Oh, what could he do? I've had the best private detectives in the country trying to find some trace of Corvet, ever since he escaped from Devil's Island again, six months ago.
Escaping Devil's Island with Evans, Dubrille & Martan. Corvet believes they are taking his share of bread and water. Because of this, he swears that he'll kill each and everyone of them.
[Weakly] Water, water...
[Weakly] You're lying, Dubrille, all of you. You've been drinking my share. Give me that bucket. Give me a drink of that bucket![Weakly] Water, water, I'm dying. I tell you, dying. You're not giving me my share! You're stealing my water. Where will you be if I die?! I'm the only one who knows navigation!
[Weakly] Bread. Bread. A crust. Just a crust of bread and water. Water!
[Weakly] You're cheating me. Cheating me. You only brought me along to steal the boat and now you're starving me to death. You don't want me to live. But I will live. I'll get you for this. I'll live to kill everyone of you for this. You, Dubrille, you, Martan, you, Evans.[Weakly] You tried to kill me. Starve me to death. But I'm going to live. I'm going to live until the last one of you is dead. Dead! (Voice fading)
