    Fox Feature Syndicate creates a pre-Code title guaranteed to provide lurid covers and art, as women both historical and fictional commit murder and other heinous acts. Tapped-out gambler Michele Durand becomes the pretty face of the Monte Carlo Gang in pre-WWII Europe; Beautiful hitchhiker Jo Ardway robs the men who pick her up, and sometimes she kills them too; Scheming Frankie Barrows makes an escaped embezzler into her personal slave, in perhaps the most lurid and bizarre tale in the entire series. Another action-packed cover by an unknown artist. Michele Durand in Lady of Intrigue; Bull's Eye Beatrice; Jo Ardway: Roadside Murderess; Murder Proceeds: $1.13; Frankie Barrows...Slave Master Unto Death; Minit Mystery.
