However, her bitterness compels her to kidnap seven beauty contestants to sadistically torment as “slaves” in her film. This draws the attention of Namor, Namora, and Betty Dean who, working on a hunch, investigate the pirate ship movie set of “Pirate Harvest,” where they find the missing “Venuses” and numerous other captives manning the oars. Aided by the USCG, the heroes apprehend Tartar and her crew and free the prisoners.
