As more and more planes are gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle, which
is supposed the secret hiding place of one war profiteer called Manta
(Charles Cioffi) and also a possible location for American nuclear tests,
Colonel Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) and his assistant Diana Prince (Lynda
Carter), who's of course scretly Wonder Woman, are sent down to
investigate ... but their plane's brought down by Manta's evil radio rays
- but they manage to parachute out of their doomed airplane right onto
Manta's main island ... where they're taken captive. But in captivity,
Manta tells them all about his evil plans, inclulding how he plans to blow
up a warship coming to their rescue using his secret submarine. Somehow
though, Diana tricks herself into freedom, tunrs into Wonder Woman and
blows up the warship. Upon this, Manta pushes the island's dekayed
self-destruct button while trying to make it to safety with Steve (which
is an odd choice for your escape-certain-death-oartner), but Wonder Woman
interferes and saves the day - it's not explained how though. And
ultimately, the US decides to step away from conducting nuclear tests in
the Bermuda Triangle, much to Diana's joy as her native Paradise Island is
right in the center of it.
Frankly, even for the silliness that you've come to expect
from Wonder Woman, this is a bit of a silly episode, which
really starts with Wonder Woman's special diving outfit which she can
change into twirling around, and her unexpected (and un-shown) ability to
swim quicker than a submarine, to the (also un-shown) evacuation of a
whole island in no more than 30 minutes without warning, to ... oh, it's
just silly - which sure makes this one nostalgic fun, but little more than
that.
