uncover the peril-shrouded puzzle behind the Ticket of
Terror!" -- Summary: A man comes to a pawnshop in the
"theatrical district" to retrieve a "theatrical trunk" that
he left nearly two years ago. The pawnbroker has sold it
already, and so is murdered by the man. Doll Man and Doll
Girl arrive, and the man calls himself The Adder, as he
escapes using acrobatic and knife-throwing skills. The
Adder finds the trunk in a junkyard, and the junk dealer
recognizes him as a former vaudeville performer with a
knife act. The Adder had been a robber, and was hiding
because of a murder accusation, but his loot was sewn into
the lining of the trunk. He manages to catch Doll Man and
Doll Girl when they arrive in pursuit. He puts them in the
trunk, and sinks them over the side of a motorboat. Our
heroes escape ("Houdini himself couldn't have done it
better"), and arrest The Adder, who later dies in the
electric chair according to a newspaper headline shown in
the final panel. -- Superhero genre. -- Data from Lou
