Cyanide Cindy was a criminal with a mile-long police record who entered a beauty contest put on by Kandle's Beauty Lotion (also spelled Kindle's at certain points in the story.) She tried to rig the contest and get the 10,000 dollar prize by threatening the other contestants at gun point to make themselves look as unattractive as possible. In addition she also threatened the judges, but she caught in the act by Midnight who recognized her as a criminal.
