 Ever since the death of
industrialist Harlow Gault, the new leadership of Gault Industries has
been plagued by sabotage -as if someone was trying to ruin the
corporation, drive down the stock, and then take over, assuming the
role of chairman of the board. Since Gault Industries is a major
government contractor, Diana Prince (LYNDA CARTER) and the IADC are
poised to investigate the peculiar events. Gault President Brandon
Stryker (FLOYD LEVINE) is not interested in helping Diana, so she and
the IADC must solve the mystery alone.

At the elegant Gault Estate, mourners file by the late
industrialist's casket, ignorant of the fact that Gault is actually
watching them. In the library, preserved in a tank and wired with
electrodes Gault's Brain (JOHN CARRADINE) functions outside the
confines of the human body.
|
|
|
Turk (ERIK STERN), Gault's bodyguard, and Tara (CATHEE
SHIRRIFF) listen as Gault orders Diana Prince's death. Tara, who
served as Gault's assistant, now searches for a suitable body in which
to implant Gault's brain. She finds Olympic Decathalon hopeful Morton
Danzig (DAVID MASON DANIELS) and lure him to the estate telling him
that she would like him to run their gym. Her offer of $1,000 per week
is appealing to Danzig.

Turk, posing as a cab driver, picks up Diana after another of
her unsuccessful visits to Gault Industries. The driver insists that
he turn on the air conditioning. A dreadful gas knocks out Diana who
Turk then places in a cargo container and dumps her into a lake. As
the container drops to the bottom of the lake, Diana whirls into
Wonder Woman and explodes out of the crate.

Back at IADC headquarters Steve Trevor (LYLE WAGGONER) and
Diana run through IRAC's files but learn very little except the
identity of Turk. Tara now prepares the estate for Morton Danzig. Dr.
Crippin (PAUL MARK RICHMAN) arranges a battery of physical
examinations. Danzig checks out in perfect health and Tara approves
the operation. The operating room is now prepared for the operation
that will immortalize Gault forever by implanting the mind of a
seventy-year old man in the body of a 25 year old athlete. Morton is
not so enthusiastic about his new position when he is approached by
Dr. Crippin and a hypodermic needle. He tries to escape, but Gault,
using telekinetic powers blocks his passage.

Diana, meanwhile, experiences her own troubles at the Gault
home for when she visits she is nearly killed by an antique armor
suit's ax blade crashing neatly into the chair in which she sat,
narrowly missing her. Between information that both Steve and Diana
have been able to gather, they become alarmed over Morton's safety.
Though they are not certain as to what is actually about to happen,
they are convinced that Morton is in danger at the Gault Estate.

|
Diana reaches the high walls surrounding the mansion and whirls
into Wonder Woman She now heads for the house, while Morton lies
unconscious on the operating table, his head shaved bald and blue
graph lines-stenciled on his scalp. Dr. Crippin places a nasty-looking
skull saw above the patient's head and turns it on. Gault continues to
pressure the doctor into continuing the procedure despite the
commotion that Wonder Woman creates as she approaches the house.
|
|
|
Wonder Woman enters the operating room but the brain insists
that Dr. Crippin continue. The brain threatens Wonder Woman and
hurtles furniture and equipment at her, but realizing that Wonder
Woman is stronger than he, he moves the table toward the
door. |

The
brain threatens Wonder Woman and hurtles furniture and equipment at
her, but realizing that Wonder Woman is stronger than he, he moves the
table toward the door. The brain and its cohorts are almost out the
door. Wonder Woman is torn between going after them and saving Morton.
Suddenly the doors between her and the gym fling shut and her decision
is made easier. She looks toward the control panel, takes off her
tiara and hurtles it toward the button that controls the blades,
stopping them just the tiniest fraction of an inch from Morton's
skull. Outside, Tara, Dr. Crippin and Turk pack the brain into their
van and roar off.
