This is the Christmas show from 1939 entitled "The Stockings Were Hung" This was the 179th episode of The Shadow. Margo (Miss Lane) and Lamont attempt to reunite a young brother and sister with their missing father. It is a loose reworking of DIckens's "A Christmas Carol" with the Shadow nicely worked into the plot as one of the ghosts of Christmas. It is a feel good story fitting for the spirit of the holiday... find in two playlists: "The Shadow" and "Christmas" playlists.
