Former superhero comic Black Cat becomes a showcase for Harvey's unique brand of pre-Code horror. Blue-haired femme fatale Cambria lures worker Steve into killing her father, so they can take over the mill that makes curiously pink flour. A dark spoof of the movie Come Back, Little Sheba, an experiment in the Mad-style humor that was originally intended for the third issue of Harvey's short-lived comic Flip. Gangster Rudy cons boxer Punchy into dangerous fights so he can win bets, but he didn't bet on Punchy finding out.
