London Town Treachery

In one peril she's tied to a pole slowly being wound in bandages from her feet to her head, yet before they can cover her all the way the Ant Hill Mob comes along to save her. And in this one there's also a formidable Clock Tower wherein she's trapped and The Hooded Claw has her in another elaborate peril again, this time involving a cat and mouse.
