A beautiful young master thief, who lives for the thrill of a heist. She is smart, resourceful, fearless and sarcastic, usually smiling when confronted with a perilous situation. She has demonstrated almost superhuman reflexes and agility, capable of leaping out of a moving car, or scaling down the side of a building with ease. She is well connected in the underworld, and commands a small gang of enforcers. Although she carries a gun, she rarely uses it, and even rarely resorts to violence, as she usually has better ways of getting out of a jam. She has blonde hair and does not hide her face, though she does wear gloves and a cape. She aided the young millionaire Thomas Norton in foiling the plots of the criminal mastermind Wu Fang. Trivia: The serial was the on-screen debut of Boris Karloff.
