(Funny Pages v4 008, 1940)
Betty Thomas is the recipient of the sort of inheritance that seems to be aimed at causing trouble: her uncle Henry has left her a fortune, provided that she is of sound mind thirty days after the will reading. If she isn't, the money goes to a secondary inheritor. This is of course the cue for someone to employ a huge hook-handed goon and start a nightly campaign of terror designed to drive her out of her gourd, and the entire rest of the Thomas clan are suspects! Is it sarcastic bad boy Bob Thomas? Crime novelist George Thomas? The sinister unnamed housekeeper? Surely it couldn't be the saintly Dr Freman Thomas?
It is of course the saintly Dr Freman Thomas, who like his employee the Monster learns the hard way that the Arrow doesn't cotton to gaslighting in his New York.
