After an inconclusive fight she disappeared, seemingly falling over a cliff. (Sensation Comics v1 #69)
Huntress invited Wildcat to her jungle lair, telling him she had surrendered to the authorities if he unmasked her. He failed because she was in a hall of mirrors, and then Huntress lured him into a quicksand trap. Wildcat escaped, and foiled her gang’s attempt to rob a masquerade ball. He then confronted Huntress in her jungle lair and locked her in one of her own holding cells. (Sensation Comics v1 #73) Huntress and socialite hunter Clyde Mason had an imposter Wildcat box the Congo Kid in a charity bout aboard Mason’s yacht.
