When Last We Left Our Innocent Protagonist...
...actually, this scene is about to happen...sort of!
Stephanie freaks out as she's about to meet her incarcerated boyfriend Vic as he is released from prison!
Returning home, she hastily packs, leaves a note for her parents, and boards a bus for New York City!
En route, she chats with her seatmate, a friendly old man who warns her of the perils of the Big City.
When Steph arrives at Manhattan's Port Authority bus terminal, she's shocked to discover the geezer had pickpocketed her, leaving her without money, credit cards, or ID!
When a pimp, seeing the distraught young woman, attempts to pick her up, he driven away by an elderly couple who claim they're from the "Travelers' Protection Agency" who bring her to their building, a hotel/halfway house for wayward girls...

Boy, when the Comics Code Authority loosened up the guidelines in 1971...they really loosened them!
A pimp, a cathouse/bordello with its' mistress (with her aide), and a hot-to-trot "john"!
Not exactly a typical day in a DC comic, eh?
So, in a somewhat-truncated ending, Vic's totally-innocent (and his conviction expunged), and Steph's released without even being booked (thus no arrest record)?
