The Shadow of Fu Manchu
The Man with Limp
by
Dr. Fu Manchu, the brilliant and ruthless criminal mastermind created by Sax Rohmer, is the central figure in this serialized radio adventure. His schemes bring him into conflict with those determined to stop him, including the resourceful Sir Denis Nayland Smith and his ally, Dr. Petrie.
The program adapts Rohmer’s stories as a dramatic serial, unfolding through suspenseful scenes, perilous encounters, and the pursuit of Fu Manchu’s far-reaching plans. Its adventure and mystery elements are shaped for radio, with dialogue and sound creating a vivid sense of danger and intrigue.
Listeners can expect an atmospheric tale of international suspense, where cleverness and nerve matter as much as action. The clash between Fu Manchu’s calculating menace and his opponents’ determination gives the series its enduring appeal as classic pulp adventure brought to the airwaves.
