History: (Sensation Comics I #72) - Janie, who pestered the Blue Boys in their civilian identities, got worried when criminal Clipper used supersonic whistles to temporarily turn the Blue Boys to crime. She created the mysterywoman identity of Little Miss Redhead to investigate. Redhead was captured by Clipper and his gang, but she used her flute to play the same tune Little Boy Blue used to summon his Blue Boys to attract their attention. Together Redhead and the Blue Boys defeated Clipper and his mob.

(Sensation Comics I #75) - Little Miss Redhead joined the Blue Boys in investigating “flying men” that had the police affle with a recent string of robberies. The crooks were shot out of a cannon to wherever they wanted to rob, and then picked up by a plane, leaving behind no evidence. After three fights the heroes defeated the flying men.

(Sensation Comics I #77) - Redhead and the Blue Boys investigated a gang that robbed people’s homes and always knew where valuables were kept. Redhead learned that the ringleader was the owner of a beauty parlour and got her customers to gossip about their prized possessions. The heroes defeated the gang and handed them over to the police.

(Sensation Comics I #82) - The Blue Boys and Little Miss Redhead investigated Plank and his gang, who used astounding inventions to commit crimes. They were defeated and brought to Plank’s headquarters, and tie to a windmill. Plank’s boss Tinker tried to double-cross the gang and was tied up alongside the mysterymen. Redhead, confident they would escape, gave Plank a tip about the Chanley Candy Corporation keeping its latest payroll in the factory. After escaping the heroes ambushed Plank and his gang in the factory and trapped them in a mixing vat.
