Blonde Phantom In The Future

Louise Grant, a meek and mild-mannered secretary to private eye Mark Mason, is in reality, the "Blonde Phantom," a heroine who saves the day in high heels and a bright red evening gown.  She maintains her secret identity because Louise wears her bright, blond hair up with glasses, while the Blonde Phantom wears her bright blond hair down with a tiny face mask that just surrounds her eyes - an impenetrable disguise.  In this episode, posted on Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine, Louise, her boss and others are kidnapped by a time travelling man from the future who puts them in cages as an exhibit at a future zoo.
