The main storyline opens with a dramatic scene, Joan Williams is tied up to a pole and she is about to be shot to death, but the Flash enters the room and saves her life. Asking how did she end in this situation, the girl tells the hero that he should free her from her bonds and then she will tell her the story.

Once free, Joan tells the Flash that she got a job as secretary in the Ministry of Defense, and she was asked to locate and stop racketeers that were hurting the United States war efforts.

Joan found and menaced the rackets, but this only got her kidnapped, tied to the pole and she was about to be killed when she was rescued.
