Diana Prince [LYNDA CARTER] goes underground and poses as Lil Thaxton, a bank robber. Aboard Tony Ryan's [CHRIS STONE] cabin cruiser, she listens as Tony persuades Anton Caribe [GREG MORRIS], the world's most notorious thief, to meet Lil and have her join them in their next job. The elusive Caribe's next job is to be his biggest; then he is to retire. She tells Tony that she'd better change into something more suitable if she is going to meet Anton Caribe. While she is below deck she spins into her scuba costume, dives into the water and swims to the shore, where Steve Trevor is waiting for Diana. • Diana Prince: Steve! • Steve Trevor: Diana. You had me worried. I thought trig-ger boy Ryan had found out who you really were. I was afraid I'd never see you again. • Diana Prince: No way. As a matter of fact Tony is so im-pressed with my cover story that he's taking me to meet the elusive Anton Caribe in person. • Steve Trevor: That's great, then Ryan's playing right into our hands. When's the meeting? • Diana Prince: I don't know, we're waiting to hear. • Steve Trevor: O-oh, that means Caribe's checking you out. Any idea where he's hiding? • Diana Prince: No, er, all Tony will tell me is that he's recruiting for a heist that's really, really big. • Steve Trevor: Bigger than the last three? • Diana Prince: Put together. • Steve Trevor: If he's not arrested soon, he's gonna be solely responsible for the national debt. • Diana Prince: Oh he'll get arrested this time with enough evidence to put him away for life and throw away the key. • Steve Trevor: From the way things are going I believe it. But listen if he's checking you out there's a few details I'm gonna have to take care of. • Diana Prince: I'd better get back to my friend before he misses me. • Steve Trevor: Listen take some advice from this old friend, you watch yourself, be careful. • Diana Prince: Thanks Steve, I will.    Diana returns to the boat. Neither she nor Tony realise that they have been being watched by one of Caribe's men, Leech [JOSEPH R. SICARI], who has been sent to check Lil out. He arrives at the police department and pays an old contact for access to Lil's police records... records which Steve has just planted, he sees that she does seem to be who she claims and heads off back to Caribe's hideout.    Since Caribe's hideout is kept secret, Tony blindfolds Diana. He leads her to a warehouse, pushes a button and the door opens to the world's richest museum. Priceless tapestries, paintings and art objects are displayed on polished tables. The atmosphere reeks with stolen treasure and immeasurable wealth.   Tony removes the blindfold and Diana looks around in astonishment. As Tony leads her toward the far end of the room, she sees Caribe sitting beneath a spotlight at a huge desk -a cruel, commanding, self-assured, self-centered man. He couldn't care less about Diana and could sooner shoot her than speak to her. To prove that she will be a worthwhile member of his group, she volunteers to get the plans for a new alarm system that was recently installed by Techtron plant in his adversary's hideout. • Anton Caribe: I hear you're very good at bank robbery. • Diana Prince: Good enough to feel ready for bigger and better things Mr Caribe. • Anton Caribe: You're very beautiful. • Diana Prince: Thank you. • Anton Caribe: Unlike Mr Ryan, however, I don't permit beauty to colour my good judgment. • Tony Ryan: I've done my homework sir, we can trust her. • Anton Caribe: When have I heard that before? Last year wasn't it? Only the name wasn't Lil, it was Karen, who's now serving 5 years. • Leech: It's 7. • Anton Caribe: Which you could very easily be doing right alongside her, correct Mr Ryan? We have no personal knowledge of this person's capabilities, just heresay and police reports. • Diana Prince: Try me, I can handle anything. • Anton Caribe: A very revealing choice of words. I'm afraid try is unacceptable in my vocabulary. • Tony Ryan: Are you saying that she's not in on the job? • Leech: I'm saying she's not. Nobody is. I just heard, the whole security system has been changed on the vault. Techtron alarm engineers were there the whole week installing a new setup. All our plans are no good. • Diana Prince: The Techtron plant's a piece of cake. I can get you the plans for the new alarm system. • Anton Caribe: Get her out of here Ryan. • Diana Prince: No! You want proof I know my business, you'll get it. • Tony Ryan: Lil, the place is like a fortress. • Diana Prince: All the better. I get you the plans and you let me in on whatever you want them for. Is it a deal? • Anton Caribe: Obviously. It's the only kind I insist upon, I can't lose. • Diana Prince: Good I'll get them tonight.    That evening, Diana arrives at the Techtron factory and spins into Wonder Woman. She leaps gracefully over the ten-foot barrier and then up to the entrance, noticing the alarm system, she uses her bracelet to slice through an electrical cable to cut off the alarm. She is followed to the factory by Leech, as Caribe has instructed him to follow her, and he takes considerably longer to gain entry. She enters the building and as the security guard approaches her, she throws her Golden Lasso over the guard's shoulders. She gets him to lead her to the file room where he gives her the plans that Caribe has requested, she then photographs the plans twice, one film for Caribe, the other for Steve. She removes the Golden Lasso and tells the guard that he is to forget what just happened, that Wonder Woman was never there. When she leaves the room she bumps into Leech and asks him if he has seen Lil who she claims that she's been looking for. She places him in a store cupboard then she changes back to Diana and rejoins him. Returning to Caribe's office, she hands him the plans. He rises from his desk, faces Diana and welcomes her to his organization.    Leech who is still unconvinced about Lil's identity picks up her former cell-mate Marge and brings her back to Caribe's hideout to expose Diana as a fake. But Marge recognizes her and Diana's cover remains intact. Leech angrily takes Marge back to where he picked her up and she gets into a car...which belongs to Steve Trevor. She reaches toward her face and peels off her mask to reveal that she is not Marge, but Steve and Diana's colleague Eve [SAUNDRA SHARP].    After explaining to Diana the job, which involves more than $50,000,000, he introduces her to her colleagues. Paul Rojak [BUBBA SMITH] and Grease [CARY CROSBY], along with Tony are to work with Diana and break into Michael Sutton's [TITOS VANDIS] bank hideout which is a very well disguised fortress complete with armed guards, sentry dogs and one of the finest vaults constructed to gain entrance, Diana is placed inside an Egyptian mummy case, which Caribe offered to sell to Sutton and which Sutton agreed to buy. The mummy is delivered to Sutton's mansion and is placed inside the highly secure vault.    Meanwhile, Steve Trevor asks Ira to analyze the alarm system on the plans and to tell him which bank Caribe is planning to rob. IRAC informs him that the alarm system does not belong to any bank, that he does not know where the alarm system is located.    Alone that evening, Diana pushes open the door of the mummy case, steps out and she reacts to angry barking. She realizes that two sentry dogs stand guard outside the vault door. She looks around and spins into Wonder Woman. She braces herself, applies all her strength and the heavy vault door begins to open and as she steps out, she faces the dogs. She very gently speaks to them and they suddenly stop barking. She calmly walks up to the lead dog and scratches his ear and he licks Wonder Woman's hand. She tells the dogs not to harm the men she will return with and not to move. She places the mummy outside the vault so that her accomplices will not be suspicious of how she got out of the locked section. She then enters Sutton's office and pushes the alarm switch to off.    Wonder Woman then whirls back to Diana and opens the courtyard door to admit her colleagues. They enter the building and immediately head for the vault. As they pick up arm loads of stacked currency and start to carry them out, two of Sutton's men enter the office and notice the alarm is off. During the period that they reactivate the alarm the four men leave the building but Diana returns to the vault to pick up the laser which they forget to take with them. Just as she is about to pass in front of the eye, the beam comes back on and the alarm goes off. The men escape but Diana is caught.    She immediately whirls into Wonder Woman and runs to the motionless dogs. She kneels town beside the lead dog and starts to talk to him as only Wonder Woman can. As the two gunmen enter the vault room prepared to attack the intruder, they stare in disbelief -the sentry dog is pawing at the electric eye alarm activators imbedded in the wall. Meanwhile Wonder Woman is hiding inside the vault until the coast is clear.    In Caribe's office, the money which was just stolen is dumped on his desk. He inquires about Diana and just as they are about to tell him, she enters the room. Tony is delighted to see that Lil [Diana] escaped and she then informs them that she is really Diana Prince with the Inter Agency Defense Command. As Caribe pulls a gun, the door opens and Steve appears with police officers. The police lead their captives out the door and Diana returns Steve's smile with much satisfaction. • Leech: You see what you get? You see what you get when you trust a woman?! • Steve Trevor: Yeah, you get the job done!
