SYNOPSIS

"The Last of The Two Dollar Bill" - ROBERT REED as SEAN FALLON - THE FALCON "The Last of The Two Dollar Bill" - HAYDEN RORK as PROFESSOR OTIS WARREN "The Last of The Two Dollar Bill" - ALBERT STRATTON as CHARLES BENSON

The North Atlantic, September, 1942. 0800 Hrs. The U.S.S. Haynes tries to stop an enemy submarine. Soon after at the War Department they receive a wire reading: "Wotan, possible landing within 24 hours. Destination: Washington."

   One hour later, off the coast of Virginia. A Nazi agent known as Wotan [JAMES OLSON] lands in the coast Virginia, at Smith Point. Major Steve Trevor [LYLE WAGGONER] and Yeoman Diana Prince [LYNDA CARTER] go to intercept him, and though Wonder Woman intervenes, Wotan escapes. Nevertheless Wonder Woman won't forget his deep and penetrating eyes.

   Several hours later back at Washington D.C. Wonder Woman tries to find out what are Wotan's plans when as Diana Prince she sees him disguised as a photographer. She recognizes him because of his eyes.

   One week later at the Nazi Intelligence Headquarters in Berlin. Wotan is selecting two specially trained Nazi agents to change their faces and make them look like Hank Miller [DAVID CRYER] and his girlfriend Maggie [BARBARA ANDERSON]. The Nazi Doctor [JOHN HOWARD] thinks this is possible.

   A few weeks later in Washington D.C., Etta and Diana go to find out what happened with the photos they ordered and that mysterious photographer which seems that has disappeared. Wonder Woman interrogates one of his co-conspirators, and it seems that the Nazi plan to steal the prints of two-dollar bills with the objective of flooding the American market with fake bills and this way turn the American economy unstable.

   Back in the Nazi Headquarters it seems that the fake Hank Miller and Maggie Robbins are ready for the operation which Wotan himself will supervise. Hank Miller works in the printing house and he'll be in charge of stealing the prints and Maggie works in a dinner place just across the street. Meanwhile Wotan pretends to be a waiter in Maggie's dining place with the purpose to help capture the real Maggie and Hank and replace them with the fake Nazi agents.

   Later that same day, Steve invites Wonder Woman to visit the Printing House since she had no idea the money was "made". Once in there she meets Hank Miller. It seems that Maggie is a big Wonder Woman fan and he calls her. Maggie meets Wonder Woman and asks her to sign a menu which she'll send to her brother who's in the battle front. When she comes back to the dining place she's replaced by the fake Maggie.

   The following day Diana goes to the cafe in search of some food and becomes suspicious about the fake Maggie. She comes back this time as Wonder Woman and asking her a false question regarding the signature on the menu. Wonder Woman tries to stop Maggie and Wotan, but she's captured and they take away her bracelets. She's locked in the basement along with the real Hank Miller and Maggie.

   Wonder Woman wisely manages to get back her bracelets and then she liberates herself as well as Maggie and Hank. After that, she interrogates the fake Maggie and discovers what are their plans.

   Meanwhile Steve becomes suspicious of the false Miller since he assigned an agent to protect him and it seems he has disappeared. When Steve unveils the fake Miller he is held prisoner with a bomb about to explode.

   While Wonder Woman prevents Wotan and the Nazis to escape on the beach, Steve liberates himself and saves the life of the agent. Now the nation's economy it's safe thanks to the Amazing Amazon. Back at the War Department Steve concludes that "She is a wonder. Strong and fearless, still compassionate. All the virtues of the feminity with none of the vices". Etta sights: "Most of time I wish I was like Wonder Woman". "There's only one Wonder Woman" replies Steve. And with a smile, Diana says: "I think the
