Comments:
This story was written and drawn in the 1940s, but it did not see print until this issue. The code CC24 appears on the splash page, meaning this story was originally intended to appear in Comic Cavalcade #24. The story that actually ran in that issue was coded CC28.

Synopsis:
A judge orders Priscilla Rich to appear in court after she inherits millions from her rich uncle. Paula is tasked with bringing Priscilla back from Reform Island. However, Priscilla uses Paula's thought control jewel to enslave Paula. The Cheetah then returns to her criminal ways using the thought jewel to enslave others including the Holliday Girls into a team of Cheetahs. After the Cheetahs kidnap a group of financiers, Wonder Woman follows them back to Paula's lab. She is momentarily enslaved by the jewel, but Steve Trevor destroys it. When the jewel is destroyed, Cheetah's power is lost. She is then taken back to Reform Island.
