Synopsis for "The Face of the Dragon"
Nasthalthia Luthor hires detective Jonny Double to trail Linda Danvers, telling him Linda wants to kill her, but secretly hoping he will discover her Supergirl identity. He catches up with Linda in Chinatown, where a radical group, the Dragon Tong, has killed one of their own for betrayal and attempts to kill the mayor of Chinatown. Supergirl intervenes and captures the Tong men. Later, Linda and Johnny run across a Chinese boy who is in the employ of Batman's enemy Dr. Tzin-Tzin. They stop the youth from committing suicide over his failure to help his fellow Tong men, and trail him back to Tzin-Tzin's hideout. Linda becomes Supergirl, encounters one of Tzin-Tzin's illusions, and dispels it with heat-vision. Tzin-Tzin escapes by jumping into the bay. Later, Johnny tells Nasthalia that he won't take her case. After she storms out, he wonders if Linda really could be Supergirl, but doubts it.
