STORY TITLE: "Monkey on Her Back"
STORY PLOT: A classic: An orphaned college girl goes with her sister to a dinner and dance party. There her sister introduces her to some friends, one of whom is a (handsome) "Marijuana user." Later on, she learns her sister is a drug addict. Sobbing, she learns how her sister started on medical marihuana (the starter drug) and moved on, Sob, Sob etc. Great dialogue, with sentences like: "Why, that's marijuana!! Oh No., I couldn't! Haven't you been reading about Dope in the papers?" -- Note a few pages are missing -- story not complete. - Also note that Overstreet claims story is the same as "Shock SupenStories No. 12." but as can be seen this is not the case.
