Gouvernment agent Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) has disappeared on his flight to LA, and his assistant Diana Prince (Lynda Carter) is attacked in her apartment, but turns into Wonder Woman on time to chase her attackers away. Then, as Diana again she travels to LA in search for Steve, and bumps into helpful cabbie Pete (Ted Schackelford), but also into more goons of the other side as well as a hitman (Frank Marth) who tries to take her out time and again. Meanwhile her boss Atkinson (Norman Burton) and LA bramch boss Kelly (Arch Johnson) have figured out Steve must have been kidnapped by Carolyn (Jayne Kennedy), a former policewoman whose life Steve has once saved - and imdeed. he's in Carolyn's hands, only now she's with an anarchist movement - but she keeps Steve alive out of gratitude. Diana and company try to track her down but without any success. Then they figure she and her gang must plan an attack of a security conference, and they're right of course. Thing is, her associate Baker (Burr DeBenning) is a double agent who takes advantage of his job with the gouvernment to take the whole conference hostage. But Diana manages to get away, turn into Wonder Woman, get to Carolyn who's Baker's sharp shooter and thus life ensurance, appeal to her conscience, and ultimately convince her to give herself up - upon which Baker's plan quickly collapses like a house of cards.

 

Sure, this one has some fun scenes, and one can't deny Lynda Carter's genuine charm in the title role, but at the same time this episode features a few too many plotholes to keep the story running to still make it work, and what's left is a rather silly cloak-and-dagger story. that might score high on the nostalgia scale, some points on the camp scale, but just isn't good TV.
