Action...Adventure...Romance...Mystery...
And a pink elephant ring made of some cheap composite material...
What more can you ask for? How about some stolen diamonds...a 5000 dollar reward...Albie, a phony Indian road-house owner...a cage of homing pigeons...Dragon-Fly Danny and Hamburger Harr and Grabby the Snatcher...a midair battle and a parachute to (could it be) safety?...our dauntless hero captured by thugs...The Three Sisters (two in drag) -- Damarius, Rebella, Angela...a deadly cobra named Kitty...a human lemon sqeezer...a wig of red hair...Matalini, the evil crystal gazer...a Book of Fate laced with chloroform...a daring escape,,,a deadly bombing mission...and a dash of true love amongst the chaos.
Hold on to you hat! Detective Dale is on the case...with a little assist from pilot Mike Condor.
A memorable line: "So there's a woman in this case, eh? There generally is when there's loose diamonds about."
Drawn by Australian comic book artist Will Donald (active from 1906 to the mid-1940s), using a rathe grotesque, Chester Gould approach to the villains.
