History: (Green Lantern I #32) - Wealthy Amos King threw a party for his daughter Winnie, and promised to try to get Green Lantern to attend. He sent his request to WXYZ radio, and Alan Scott (secretly GL) accepted the invitation in GL's stead, saying he had no time for frivolity. Winnie was undeterred, and convinced Cordani the Juggler to pull off a fake crime at the party to get GL's attention. The Juggler forced Amos to give him the combination to his safe, and Alan made a quick change to GL. Winnie was pleased with herself, but the Juggler, drunk on his success using his talents for crime, decided to keep the valuables he stole, and kidnapped Winnie, demanding a ransom. GL and his sidekick Doiby met him at the appointed time, and tried to free Winnie, but were incapacitated by the Juggler. He tied them to a giant slot machine, telling them it would explode when it came up three humans before leaving to commit another crime. GL used his power ring to shield them from the blast, and caught the Juggler in the act of robbing Gotham Garden and apprehended him.
