Diana Prince (Lynda Carter) marries the president's right hand man
Harrison (John Getz), and since he has never figured in the series before
it's easy to guess it's a sham marriage - and of course, even on their way
to their honeymoon destination the Hacienda are they attacked by
two goons (Thomas Babson, Steve Eastin), but Diana in her other identity
as Wonder Woman steps in and chases the baddies of. At the Hacienda they
meet their contact Sam Tucker (Simon Scott), who reveals to them several
American trade secrets have been falling into the hands of enemy agents
and all of this has been traced back to the Hacienda and especially its
owner Allen (Henry Darrow) - and it's apparent he gets these secrets from
the wives of Washington officials who often come to stay at the Hacienda -
but how. And as they're still talking, Tucker's wife Dolly (Celeste Holm)
is massaged by Allen herself, who eventually presses a button implanted
inside her back which knocks her out and makes her babbling on about trade
deals. Though laer, Dolly tells Allen she has seen through his game but
will keep mum if he helps her to discredit her husbanbd to make him resign
from active duty so they can spend more time together. Allen then turns
his attention to Diana, has her knocked out by gassing her in the sauna,
then implants a device in her back, hoping to get something out of
her. But she being Wonder Woman is immune to his device. Instead she
transforms into her superheroine self once his back is turned, overhears
how he plans to kill Harrison, Tucker and his wife, and saves them all,
then stops Allen who was just about to escape his own spa with a suitcase
full of money. And in the end, Tucker resigns out of his own free will to
spend more time with his wife.
Frankly, this is just silly, it's how a probably eight year
old imagines espionage - so with little rhyme or reason, as long as
there#s plenty of action. This of course makes this episode somewhat
amusing, maybe charming even for its pure simplicity, and then only when
seen through a nostaqlgic lense, but little beyond that, good let alone
"classic" TV this is not.
