Mary McGrill worked as a short order cook at the Short Stop, the truck stop frequented by heroic trucker U.S. Archer.
Mary McGrill was hypnotized by U.S. Archer's arch-enemy, the Highwayman, into taking on the villainous identity of "Midnight." It was some time before U.S. Archer realized that Mary McGrill and Midnight were one in the same.
U.S. Archer was able to free Mary McGrill from the Highwayman's control.
U.S. Archer and Mary McGrill finally got married. They relocated from Earth to work at the Star Stop, the space-based "truck stop" established by Mary's former bosses, Poppa Wheelie and Wide-Load Annie.
