The Spirit

Shot in the line of duty, police detective Denny Colt is thought to be dead when his body turns up missing. Allowing his enemies to believe he died, Colt dons a blue suit and mask and proceeds to fight crime as The Spirit. Aided by Police Commissioner Dolan and in love with Dolan's daughter Ellen, The Spirit works outside the law as he attempts to bust an art forgery racket run by the notorious femme fatale P'Gell.
