(Actually, this cover scene hasn't occurred...yet!)
The Shadow, tracking Dr Demon, has arrived just as the Nazi fiend is about to form an alliance with Shiwan Khan!
But the long-time arch-enemy of He Who Knows What Evil has a quite different idea...
Curiously, Shiwan Khan in the Archie series apparently doesn't have the same mind-controlling powers as The Shadow..although they are utilized in his other comics appearances!
And, I have to ask, did this Shadow series influence the Batman TV series...which began filming months after this particular issue appeared...the way the original pulp stories influenced the Caped Crusader's early tales?
The entire story could just as easily be a two-part episode of the show with a few name changes!
