Synopsis
  • Attorney C. M. Hawkins, the executor of the late J. J. Brandon’s estate, summons Green Arrow and Speedy to his office and gives them 13 odd arrows in the shapes of objects of superstition, such as a black cat, an ace of spades, and a ladder. Hawkins tells Green Arrow that Brandon was a strong believer in the occult, and will leave $5,000,000 to the charity of the hero’s choice if he can defeat bad luck on Friday the 13th by using those “bad luck” arrows to fight crime successfully. Green Arrow opts to give it a try, and he and Speedy manage to make do with the strange arrows. Finally, one of the crooks they capture admits that he and the others have been hired by Hawkins, to try and thwart Brandon’s wishes so that Hawkins, as executor, could pocket a million dollars of the estate’s money. Hawkins tries to escape, but GA nabs him by knocking a giant horseshoe sign off a building with an Ace of Spades arrow, pinning Hawkins and the stolen Arrowcar under it.
