The Vanishing Shadow background

The Vanishing Shadow

A son seeks revenge against corrupt politicians who murdered his father, using his inventive skills to create innovative devices, including ray guns, robots, and a "vanishing belt," in a 12-episode serial.

Stanley Stanfield, an electrical engineer, presents his innovative vest-like invention to Carl Van Dorn, a renowned electrical wizard. This device allows the wearer to disappear, leaving only a shadow. Van Dorn is impressed and joins Stanfield to take down power-hungry Wade Barnett and his accomplice Dorgan, who used a ruthless smear campaign to drive Stanfield's father to his death. However, Stanfield's quest is complicated by his girlfriend Gloria Grant, who is actually Barnett's daughter and uses an alias, having rejected her father.
