"POT
OF GOLD" Air Date: December 22,1978. "Pot of Gold"
opens in London as Diana is investigating a
counterfeiting ring. She is unaware that the perfect
counterfeit plates that have been created are en
route to America, attached to the collar of a
vicious dog named Rasputin, who will be picked up
once the plane lands. At the same time, back in
America, Irish cobbler Pat O'Hanlon is accosted by
robbers who want to steal his gold. Their plan is to
add Pat's wealth to the gold they've already stolen
so that they will have enough cash to pay for the
counterfeit plates once they arrive. Naturally
Wonder Woman gets involved, doing everything she can
to disrupt these plans, while trying to keep Pat
safe from harm. Pat, it's revealed, seems to be
perfectly fine as there's something a little bit
magical about the Irishman. "GAULT'S BRAIN" Air
Date: December 29, 1978. Wonder Woman definitely
moves into pure science fiction territory in
"Gault's Brain". At the outset of the episode,
family and friends are mourning the passing of
70-year-old industrialist Harlow Gault, unaware of
the fact that the man isn't dead in the traditional
sense of the word. h seems that Gault's brain –
which has been endowed with a number of telekinetic
abilities – has somehow survived, and it's hooked up
to a number of wires and computers. Gault has
ordered his henchmen to find the perfect human body
that his brain can be transplanted in to, thus
ensuring his immortality. Wonder Woman must save the
life of an unsuspecting innocent, while
simultaneously trying to stop the power of Gault's
brain. *** "Pot of Gold" guest star Dick O'Neill is
probably best known as Chris Cagney's father on the
classic cop drama, Cagney & Lacey. The plot of
"Gault's Brain" would seem to have been inspired by
the classic horror film and novel, Donovan's Brain". |
