The Black Queen is a court attorney who apparently is well-known for getting criminals released and their charges dropped. She gets her partner-in-crime and boyfriend Slot Gorgan out of jail to keep running a gang because he's the only guy she's ever met that can kill somebody in cold blood so easily. Unfortunatley for them, The Spirit is in the room and overhears the whole conversation, telling them that he wants some of their stolen money to help support a free lunch program at a school that needs funds. Through a lot of fights and daredevil stunts, The Spirit re-holds the Slot's trial at his Wildwood Cemetery hideout so he can prove Gorgan is a murderer and frame him to get money out of the killer. This is a pretty action-packed entry in The Spirit comics.
Things of note in this story:
1. The Spirit hires Ebony White as his exclusive cabby and chauffeur.
2. Ebony White also helps The Spirit keep an eye on his "guests" at gunpoint in his Wildwood Cemetery hideout.
3. This is the first time that we see the inside of The Spirit's Wildwood cemetery lair.
4. The Spirit uses one of his disguises to sit in on the re-held Slot Gorgan murder trial. He is disguised as an old man in a white wig and mustache and glasses who uses a cane.
