Classic Comics: Catman Issue #21

Despite the promising cover with Catman bursting helter-skelter to save Catgirl from an array of villains, it's not until the unrelated story Los Banditos that a Damsel is properly imperiled by some bandits looking for a cache of hidden gold. She tied to a stake in the center of town as her home is torched and he girl is roughed up a bit before the local troops arrive and set things right.

The following tale of a detective dubbed the Ragman, a damsel is grabbed by some jewel thieves, and kept trussed up and gagged in a secret room.
