Little Miss Murder was already a skilled and experienced killer when she married Mike Mara, a notorious gangster. After poisoning her husband, she took over his gang and proved to be a cunning and ruthless crime boss in her own right. She behaved very politely, wore the anachronistic trappings of a southern belle, and feigned a dainty disposition, but in reality she was a tough and cold-hearted monster. She used a number of disguised weapons to kill, including a parasol that concealed a rifle in the shaft and a poisoned powder compact. She also would plunge a hat pin into a victim’s eye. She carried handguns and a tarantula. She managed to capture the hero Doll Man, but he freed himself and brought Little Miss Murder to justice. She swore that he would see her again.
