The Flash discovers a hush-hush story of a stolen Egyptian artifact that is supposedly cursed – the infamous ‘Black Cat of Bubastis’.  According to myth, the ‘Black Cat’ was an effigy of ‘Bastet’, Cleopatra’s beloved cat.  The statue was also believed to hold a significant clue as to the location of Cleopatra’s tomb.  Continued below...

Legend tells that the sculpture was actually protected by the goddess, Bastet; and those who came into contact with the statue suffered great maladies.  Brenda and Betty Ann follow a trail of unexplained happenings, which just happens to follow the same course as the MIDNIGHT STAR.  After discovering some of Brenda’s discarded notes, and determined to scoop the famous reporter, Daphne Dimples® heads out to board the ship in Athens; two days before Brenda and Betty Ann!  Unbeknownst to Daphne, she is heading into danger without all the clues!  Shocked to see Daphne already onboard, Brenda and Betty Ann protect Daphne’s undercover role as a smoldering stage actress on holiday…as long as they all work together. Brenda assumes the role of a wealthy archeologist and Betty Ann becomes a widowed Contessa from Spain.  Each under assumed identities, they unravel a complicated web of deceit leading them not to Cleopatra’s tomb, but to an abandoned mine just outside of the Delta where they find a king’s ransom in stolen treasures of Egyptian antiquity; each being readied for sale to the highest bidder.  Armed with teamwork, the trio boards the MIDNIGHT STAR for the last time to attend the Farewell Gala in their finest gowns; and to reveal the ringleader of this international art smuggling ring!  Satisfied with their triumph, Daphne suggests they take a couple of extra days aboard the ship to relax; and then secretly makes haste to The Flash to scoop Brenda!
