Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) and his assistant Diana Prince (Lynda
Carter) are sent to a small South American country where traces of a high
ranking Nazi, Gerlich (Mel Ferrer) were found, who's apparently planning
to raise the Fourth Reich. Trying to trace down Gerlich, Diana gets
captured by Gerlich's cronies, and tied up in a cave next to a short fused
stick of dynamite - so a surefire death trap for anyone but Wonder Woman,
which fortunately is Diana's secret identity. As Wonder Woman she can't
only escape certain death but also follow Gerlich and company to their
secret headquarters by hanging onto their helicopter. Later, again in her
Diana persona, she leads Steve to the place, a fortress in the middle of
the jungle guarded by sharp shooters and tanks. However, somehow Steve
manages to sneak in and disguise as a Nazi soldier, while Diana changes
into Wonder Woman and just uses her superpowers to enter. Within the
fortress, they find a clone of Adolf Hitler (Barry Dennen) preparing his
men to take over the world. Somehow, Steve and Wonder Woman can find the
doctor who cloned Hitler, Von Klemper (Leon Charles), force him to unclone
him, then destroy his lab before local authorities take care of the Nazis. Wonder
Woman's first
episode of season two sure didn't hold much promise, being little
more than an espionage caper with a super heroine tagged on. In that
respect, Anschluss '77 is quite an improvement, adding more
comicbook campiness, up to a colned Adolf Hitler, to the mix, and also
some of the stuntwork is actually pretty cool - all of which doesn't make
this a perfect episode by a longshot, but it's at least entertaining in a
silly kind of way and rates higher on the nostalgia scale than last
episode due to exactly that.
