Sandra knight, really phantom lady, arrives with don to help a friend…
Nice of you to loan betty money to get started in business, sandra. Hope she can cook…
She's an old friend, don. And when her husband died, she was broke…
But inside…
We warned you to pay up, sister!
I can't pay for protection… Ohhh…
Oh, you can't, eh?
Hey, you…
Out of our way, chum…
Ohh! They've hurt betty!
What's the matter with me? I should have slugged them!
Ohh… Those men…
You'll be all right betty… But what's it all about?
See this card… I have to pay them money or close up! And i can't even afford to hire any help. I might as well give up.

The old protection racket might be a job for Phantom Lady in this.
Cheer up, Betty. You've got two temporary assistants! and if those characters come back I'll handle them!
A wonderful idea, Don! I'll wait on table.
And soon.
Draw two. Black!
Get her!
Coming up!
Nothing funny about this! But it helps betty… And if phantom lady is needed, she'll be right on hand!
Darned if i don't wish they would show up! Get me away from this mop!
