Synopsis
Lamont Cranston, alias The Shadow, has to clear his name of the murder of a blackmailing newspaper reporter by solving the crime himself.
Reception
Film historian Larry Langman dismissed Behind the Mask as a "feeble entry in the Shadow mystery series". Critic Leonard Maltin gave the film a mixed review, describing it as a "decent low-budget whodunit" with "some nice visual touches but way too much 'comedy' relief."
