Upon arriving in Washington D.C., she establishes the secret identity of Diana Prince and begins working for Steve Trevor. This movie, and the First Season, are set in World War II.

She hits Wonder Woman in the face with knock-out gas and Wonder Woman faints. Later she recovers and after a struggle brings the Baroness to justice. Notes: This episode is based on a plot from a 1942 comic book, in which the warden's son was fascinated with cowboys, the golden lasso, and vice detective stories.[citation needed] Baroness von Gunther is one of the series' few adversaries of Wonder Woman who originated in the comic books. | ||||||

The unconscious Wonder Woman is then kidnapped and taken to Germany for study. Steve launches a mission to rescue her but is captured himself shortly after Wonder Woman orchestrates her own escape. Wonder Woman returns to Germany to rescue Steve and convince Fausta to abandon the Nazi cause. Notes: Fausta Grables first appeared in Comic Cavalcade #2 Spring 1943 issue in a story entitled 'Wanted by Hitler, Dead or Alive'.[2] This episode marks the re-introduction of the red-white-and-blue, star-spangled cape that Wonder Woman adopts throughout the series for formal occasions; it and the miniskirt had been seen when issued to her by Queen Hippolyta in the pilot movie.

Kriegsmarine Captain Radl (John Saxon) also wants to find out the source of feminum, the metal used to make Wonder Woman's bracelets. He kidnaps General Blankenship, who is taking Drusilla for a drive in Washington. Drusilla discovers that she can spin into costume like her sister and turns into Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl tries to rescue the General but Captain Radl chloroforms her. Note: this was one of Debra Winger's first acting roles. Also guest stars Carolyn Jones as Queen Hippolyta, although she is never referred to by name. This was the only episode in the entire series that shows Wonder Woman changing back into Diana Prince, although the camera was on Drusilla's reaction rather than the transformation. | ||||||

Wonder Girl escapes and, as Drusilla, exposes Peter as a Nazi spy. Learning Diana has returned home, Wonder Girl also returns home to Paradise Island whereupon the two princesses engineer the capture of all of the invading Germans; the Amazons' memory-wiping technology deletes the sailors' knowledge of the island's existence before they are set adrift. Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl then return to America to prevent the theft of the jet. Guest starring Carolyn Jones as Queen Hippolyta. | ||||||

Note: Wonder Woman's similarly-named adversary, Giganta, was originally a super-evolved gorilla, in Wonder Woman #9 (Summer, 1944). The map of Africa used at the beginning of the episode showed the 'Republic of the Congo', which was not established until 1960, 18 years after the events are supposed to have taken place; in 1942, the area shown was called the Belgian Congo, later renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo. | ||||||

Notes: Within the series' universe, production of the $2 ceased in 1942, Major Trevor handing YN1 Prince the final note to be filed; in the real world, production continued until halted in 1966-1976.
