Howard Hughes halts J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, keeping them from examining the airliner from the future, telling them that there’s dangerous radiation about. This allows Doc Savage to meet his younger self, unnerving both men, as well as Monk, Einstein, Fermi, and Wells. Older Doc hastily explains the situation and leaves to take the airliner back to the future, leaving the UQM and the responsibility for fixing the situation here to his young counterpart….
Elsewhere at the airport, Howard Hughes is confronted by the Voodoo Master who intends to shoot him down. Instead Hughes runs but is captured by a mysterious dark figure who turns him over to Voodoo Master…. On the flight to Tibet, Richard Benson excuses himself to go to the bathroom. We see the Shadow, disguised as Lamont Cranston, is a prisoner in the next stall; as he frees himself, Benson returns to find his wife and daughter missing and everyone claims that he was on the flight alone. He is overpowered by the passengers and thrown out of the door, as his wife and child were earlier. The Shadow grabs a life raft and leaps after him but there’s not enough time to catch up with him before they hit a snow-covered mountaintop. Believing Benson to be dead, the Shadow pulls himself out of the snow and makes his way to the secret temple where he learned his secrets from Master Chow Lee. There he relates the story to his sansei who responds with cryptic comments advising him to find Doctor Savage. Dressed as a Shadow-Warrior, he returns to Benson’s body and meets Doc Savage who had followed the tracking device carried by Benson. Assuming the man to be an enemy the Man of Bronze bowls him over but the mystery man projects his thoughts into Doc’s mind and all is suddenly clear. The two men have a tense meeting and are both astonished when the supposedly dead Benson walks up to them….
