Washington D.C. - A recent evening long after midnight. Summoned in the middle of the night, Diana Prince [LYNDA CARTER], Steve Trevor [LYLE WAGGONER], and Joe Atkinson [NORMANN BURTON] learn that Dr. Theodore Wilson [LEW AYRES], a prominent scientist in the field of psychokinesis, has vanished from his office. When last seen, Dr. Wilson was working in his lab with Ishida [YUKI SHIMODA], a Japanese National, and Taft [J. KENNETH CAMPBELL], Wilson's assistant.    Upon examination of the lab, Diana and Steve find a hidden camera that makes tapes of Wilson's experiments. One particular tape shows Wilson and Ishida working with a machine that can harness the force of man's mind. Ishida has that specially trained mind with very special brain waves and has just successfully completed a demonstration. Realizing this is an incredible breakthrough, Wilson reaches for the telephone to call the Pentagon when Ishida stops him. He grabs the machine and Dr. Wilson, and the tape goes dead. He is now on the loose with this astounding power. He must be found.    Diana decides to investigate the house of Takeo Ishida. She finds a beautiful home surrounded by a brick wall. Unable to gain access to the grounds, she whirls into Wonder Woman and vaults upward, peers through a window and stares in amazement. Among the traditional Japanese items is an array of Wonder Woman items news clippings, pictures and toys - and most of them at least 35 years old. In the corner of the room is a shrine-altar with two photographs, one of Wonder Woman and one of a young man, and Japanese swords. Everything is draped in black.    In the meantime, Ishida has Dr. Wilson hidden in a van a few doors from the house. They notice Steve and Wonder Woman conversing, and she then leads Steve into the house. Dr. Wilson tries to escape, but Ishida overpowers him. He is a prisoner.    Once in the house, Steve notices a Wonder Woman doll that was sold during the second World War. He is disturbed at the interest Ishida has in Wonder Woman. Steve is familiar with the Japanese custom of setting one room aside for the dead, complete with shrine, picture, and black cloth.    Diana is determined to find out who the young man in the photo is. She visits the Japanese Embassy and is given permission to use the microfilm machine.    While Diana is occupied at the Embassy, Ishida is using his telekinetic powers. While Steve is out of his office, he types a message on Steve's typewriter. Supposedly, it is from Wonder Woman telling Steve she has developed a lead on Dr. Wilson and for him to meet her at Los Alamos. Steve is puzzled. He has never been contacted this way, but he leaves immediately.    Meanwhile, Diana has discovered the young man's family name is Ishida. Upon further investigation, she finds his parents died of natural causes in an American relocation camp in New Mexico during World War II. The boy disappeared at the end of the war. Satisfied with this information, she returns to her office. She sees the message Steve received and prepares immediately to leave for New Mexico. She knows Steve is running into a trap.    Steve, thinking he is going to meet Wonder Woman, is driving in the empty, desolate desert; Ishida is concentrating on controlling the jeep telekinetically. He succeeds, and Steve loses control.    Steve finds himself in the middle of a deserted relocation camp. Ishida is pleased with himself. His plan worked well. He dresses himself in the traditional clothes of a Samurai and waits for Wonder Woman.    She arrives shortly thereafter. She learns that Steve and Dr. Wilson are locked in the camp prison. Ishida is bitter. He tells Wonder Woman that 35 years ago he, his parents, and brother-were interned in this camp. He blames Wonder Woman for the death of his parents, but mostly for the death of his younger brother. Wonder Woman argues she saved his brother and will reunite them.    Disbelieving this, Ishida starts concentrating intensely on a steel post. Within moments, the post falls toward Wonder Woman. She leaps 20 feet in the air and escapes. She next tosses a boulder aside and, within seconds, stops a speeding car. Ishida is startled at this display of strength.    Watching this from their prison cell are Steve and Dr Wilson. The only way to step Ishida is to break the machine. In the process of doing this, the circuits overload and the machine bursts into flames. Both are overcome by smoke. • Wonder Woman: "Your powers are gone now Ishida." • Ishida: "Only because yours was greater than mine, Wonder Woman." • Wonder Woman: "We all have powers, Ishida. What makes them special is the way we use them. Is true that mine proved greater than yours... but mine are used for good, while yours..." - Wonder Woman takes off her bracelets and golden belt off . • Wonder Woman: "Well, I have no powers now." - Ishida tries to attack Wonder Woman with his samurai saber. • Wonder Woman: "Why do you hesitate?" • Ishida: "Is to give you a moment to prepare for death." • Wonder Woman: "I don't believe your samurai code allows you to strike down a defenseless opponent." • Ishida: "I have waited a whole lifetime for this moment." • Wonder Woman: "Because a 6-year-old boy believes he saw what never happened." • Ishida: "I do not yet know the truth.... You're right. I cannot strike."    Ishida has now lost his power. He realizes he is wrong. Dr. Wilson is truly a friend. As Wonder Woman kicks down the door, Ishida risks his life by following her into the burning cell and the two men are rescued.    Days later, Diana visits Ishida at his home. He is prepared to go to jail an pay for his sins. Diana informs him that Steve, Dr. Wilson, and the Government have dropped their charges in the hope that he will use his powerful mind for the good of mankind. He agrees most humbly. Diana and Steve leave for a few minutes and return with his long lost brother.    Later, Steve, Diana and Joe Atkinson speaks to the President at the Security Room: • President: "...but the mind behind the machine really has been repaired, hasn't it? I would hate to think Dr. Wilson's work would end up being much ado about nothing" • Diana: "It works all right, sir. We simply didn't plug in. Their meeting after all these years was a beautiful moment." • President: "There were some tragic errors after the hysteria that followed Pearl Harbor". • Diana: "I guess that's why pencils have erasers. It's a shame but we learn from our mistakes." • Steve Trevor: "We've learned that East is no longer simply 'East'". • President: "Agreed. Our relationship with Japan has never been better". • Joe Atkinson: "And Wonder Woman should certainly get an assist".
• President: "Why, thank you Joe." • Joe Atkinson: "Sir?" • President: "For reminding me. I'm to throw the first ball of the new season. Nice job all around. Congratulations." • Steve: "Thank you, sir." • Diana: "Thank you, sir." • Steve: "Hey Joe I just had a thought. Some ball club ought to put Wonder Woman on their pitching staff." • Joe Atkinson: "That's something worth thinking about. She could be the first female to crack the major leagues." • Steve: "Why not? Sometimes she seems to be in two places at once." • Joe Atkinson: "She could pitch, and play catcher at the same time." • Steve: "And first base." • Joe Atkinson: "And second." • Diana: "How about shortstop..."
