Namora is the lone survivor of a massacre perpetrated by "Stoop" Richards and his gang when they plundered her undersea home for pearls. Among the dead was her father. That evening, Namor finds Namora amid the carnage, and they set out to find the murderers, eventually confronting them twice -- first on Blue Rose, a gambling ship, and then on a small island known as Silver Rock. The cousins apprehend Richards and his men and hand them over to the police. Namor then introduces Namora to Betty Dean, who takes in the homeless princess.
