avenging spirit is the BLUE STREAK! His story begins…

his little brother Bob, and his girlfriend Kitty form a high-wire trapeze
act. But a robbery at the ticket booth spells disaster for one of the
Flying Dare Devils! Bob Dare witnesses the robbery. His big brother
warns him not to get involved, but Bob does not heed the warning and
jumps the bandits and catches a fatal bullet for his trouble! The robbers
escape with the loot, while Jim consoles a dying Bob. The next day Kitty
and Jim mourn the loss of a sibling and a partner. Jim Dare swears on
