 A young couple, Henry
Wilson (JEFFREY BYRON) and Mary Lou (LILIBET STERN) are together in a
car, much against their parents wishes. It is in the country and the
only sound heard is the sound of crickets. Suddenly an eerie whirring
sound is heard and as it passes over the car, it is almost deafening.
They see a large, oblong ring of blinding colored lights, like a crown
of Jewels against the sky and they think it is a UFO. Henry grabs his
camera and tape recorder and leaves the car and disappears into the
night. Mary Lou calls after him, but there is no answer and Henry is
gone.

Diana Prince (LYNDA CARTER) is assigned to the case. She
arrives in the small town of Berryville which is now bustling with
activity -tv crews, photographers, etc. Diana tells Mrs. Wilson (DORIS
DOWLING) that she is with the IADC and would like to-talk to her, when
a microphone is shoved into her face by a reporter, asking her
questions about her son. Mary Lou calls Diana aside and after telling
her that their parents can't stand each other, she is delighted to
talk to an outsider. She tells Diana that she has the tape recorder
that she found outside the car after Henry disappeared. Diana plays
the tape and there is a description of the UFO and the
"beings" who came out of it. His final words on the tape are
screams Of help to Mary Lou. Diana immediately sends the tape to Steve
Trevor (LYLE WAGGONER).

Steve has been watching the activity on television when he sees
extraterrestrial spaceships. The starships strafe the ground with
lasers, disintegrating it. He and others gape in awe. Suddenly, the
screen goes black. Colonel Robert Elliot- (TIM O'CONNOR), an expert on
unidentified flying objects, reports to Steve. He is on his way to
Berryville to investigate Just what is going on. It was Just reported
that a plane has spotted what looks like the battle site in the
foothills of the Alleghenies. Elliot is also an expert in nuclear
missiles. Once in Berryville, Col. Elliot and an Army General (DAVID
WHITE) arrive at the battlesite where they see burnt out pickup
trucks, sheriff's cars, etc. They can't believe what they are seeing
-a handful of defenseless farmers and country deputies destroyed.
Seems strange to them that the only people to escape was the
television crew. Hopefully they will not have to use nuclear missiles
to stop whatever is going on. |

Diana gets into her car and decides to try to locate the pirate
transmitter. It seems that lately a large amount of heavy duty
electronic equipment was recently purchase and moved to the Berryville
area. The kind of equipment that could put a TV station into
operation. The man she is to look for is Mason Steele (ANDREW DUGGAN),
an ultra-right-wing fanatic. As she drives long the road she sees a
van with MASTEX ELECTRONICS INC. printed on it. She decides to follow
it. They park at a farmhouse. Diana is cautiously examining the
outside of the farm building when suddenly a window explodes with a
spray of glass. Henry, who was held prisoner there and now escaping,
looks up at her. He takes off into the woods, but Diana finds herself
looking into two guns. She is taken inside. |

She is now face-to-face with Mason Steele. He tells her that
before he gets rid of her, he wants her to see what he is doing.
Steele takes Diana to what appears to be a video sound set, cameras,
an engineer, etc- A newsman (FRANK WHITEMAN) appears and tells them he
is ready to begin his act. The cameras roll and he starts his speech.
With hysteria he screams that there are only two people left since the
starships devastated the small group of people fighting them. He says
that he thinks they are going off to launch another attack somewhere
else. He goes on and on telling about the destruction and that he
thinks that this is the beginning of the end for everyone. He ends his
speech and Steele tells Diana that with sound effects and lighting
effects it will be more effective. Steele instructs his men to take
the tape to the transmitter and to put it on the air within an hour.
Diana then finds out that the UF0 was made out of a blimp and some
colored lights. and , the battles were staged. Diana questions Steele
as to why he is doing this. He tells her that he wants Red China blown
to bits. By staging all the battles, UFO's, etc., he knows that the
Army will be frightened enough and that they will order Col. Elliot to
release the missile that will l and in the middle Of the People's
Republic Of China! |

Steele orders Diana to be tied up with a bomb set to go off
within minutes. They leave her alone and head for the transmitter.
Henry, who has now returned to the farm building looking of his
camera, finds her and releases her. Diana finds out from Henry where
the transmitter is and she sends him back into town. The minute he is
gone, she whirls into Wonder Woman. She runs out Or the building and
catches Steele and his little men Just as they are ready to leave for
the transmitter. A fight follows with Wonder Woman ducking, swinging,
using Judo and soon there is a pile of heavies. Someone fires their
gun, but she deflects the bullets with her bracelets. They all flee
leaving Steele. She uncoils her lasso, twirls it, ropes Steele and
they leave for the transmitter. The engineer has put in the tape and
it is beginning to roll. A close-up Of Wonder Woman is burned in and
she explains to the people that it was all a hoax. Not to believe
anything they saw before, and she especially points out that if Col.
Elliott is listening, please do not release the missile. She repeats
it was all a hoax. At that very moment, Col. Elliot looks up at the
screen and takes his finger |
|
off
the release button. He is relieved. Wonder Woman appeared at the right
moment. In Berryville the people are once again living a normal life.
Everyone is so happy to have Henry back, that his parents and Mary
Lou's parents give in and the give their blessings to the both of
them. Diana looks at Henry and Mary Lou with a satisfied smile....
