Miss America Magazine #3

Clue of the Goldfish

When her Uncle Jim's friend John Harvey is murdered while talking to Jim on the phone, Madeline Joyce sneaks off to investigate as Miss America. Arriving at the scene of the crime she catches a costumed criminal named the King Cobra searching for secret bomber plans and not finding them. Miss America attacks but is knocked out, allowing King Cobra and his men to flee the scene. When Miss America comes around she hears her Uncle Jim arriving with the police and flees the scene.

At his hideout, King Cobra deduces that John Harvey might have given his plans to his friend Jim Bennett and sends his men to try and locate them. Meanwhile, Madeline has rejoined her Uncle who is going over his dead friends final will. The lights are suddenly doused and Uncle Jim is attacked by King Cobra's men who steal the will. Telling her Uncle to rest, Madeline follows after the crooks as Miss America. King Cobra learns that John willed all his possessions to his pet goldfish. Realizing the plans might be hidden on the fish, King Cobra and his men prepare to head to Jim's house but are once more opposed by Miss America. She is stunned by machine gun bullets and tied up in a room rigged with explosives, but manages to escape.

Rushing back to Uncle Jim's house, Miss America knocks out King Cobra and her men and after turning them over to the authorities reveals to her Uncle Jim that the fish had the bomber plans hidden in a secret pouch. Resuming her civilian identity, Madeline's apatite is quashed when she learns they are having fish for supper and vows never to eat another fish for as long as she lives.
