A repeat of the "fire dance" from chapter nine of Columbia's The Phantom reveals that the Fire Princess, actually Ruby Dawn, a chorus girl imposter hired by Dr. Bremmer, escaped the blaze through a secret exit. When his turn comes, the Phantom follows her lead, greatly aided by Devil and Moku. Her fraud exposed, the "princess" is promptly assassinated by Drake, another of Bremmer's apparently unlimited supply of henchmen.
