 Diana Prince (LYNDA
CARTER) poses as singer Kathy Meadows and lands a trial contract to
record with Eric Landau's (CURTIS CREDEL) Phoenix Records. Diana, in
the studio recording her 'demo" record, sees Landau in the midst
of a suspicious discussion with Marty (BOB HOY), an unsavory young man
who appears to be threatening him verbally. But Diana must continue
her song for as far as everyone at Phoenix is concerned she is a
talented singer named Kathy and definitely not an agent on the IADC
Force.

During a phone conversation back to Steve Trevor (LYLE
WAGGONER) at the IADC Headquarters in Washington, Diana reveals that
she is on to an extortion scheme. A popular singer named Billy Dero
set sail for Catalins island and was never seen again. Phoenix Records
paid a small fortune to acquire the last songs that he recorded and
planned to release a memorial album titled 'Farewell to the
Master." Now a small gang, masterminded by Adelle Kobler (KATE
WOODVILLE), has stolen the tapes and is holding it for ransom. Without
the master tapes, Phoenix can't press any albums and Eric Landau
stands to lose the company if he doesn't get the tape back. |

Eric escorts Diana to a press party held in her honor at the
record company office. There, she meets Jeff and Barbi Gordon (JUDGE
REINHOLD and SARAH PURCELL), one of the Landau's other acts. Jeff is a
pleasant enough man, but Barbi is obnoxious. She is particularly
resentful to some of Landau's more progressive acts, almost to the
point of being spiteful. Just then, a van screeches to a halt and the
three stars (DANIL TORPPE, RICK SPRINGFIELD, MICHAEL BOTTS) of the
band "AntiMatter" emerge and enter the party, as if to
punctuate Barbi's comment. Eric is called away from the party
momentarily to confront Marty. This time the extortionist produces an
envelope containing the tape of Dero's first song from the album. He
sets the envelope and it's contents on fire as a sign of his
intentions to destroy one song for each day that the ransom remains
unpaid. |

The "AntiMatter" members start talking about Dero's
album cover, which, reminiscent of the Beatle's Paul McCartney
episode, leaves clues to Billy's whereabouts. They put the puzzle
together and take a drive out to Billy's old beachhouse in Santa
Monica. Inside the boarded above they find Billy (MARTIN SPEER) quite
well and very much alive. Meanwhile, Eric is on his way to pay the
million-dollar ransom for the stolen tapes. When
"AntiMatter" brings Billy back to the studio, Diana,
realizing that word must reach Eric before he pays the money,
commandeers "AntiMatter's" van and they all speed to the
scene of the pay-off. They arrive not a second too soon. Now they
return to the Phoenix Record Building with Billy in tow. Eric is
shocked and delighted to have Billy back, but he is also angered by
Billy's disappearing act which nearly bankrupted the label. Eric is
quick to realize that with Billy alive, there is no need to ramson the
tapes. |

Kobler and Marty realize this fact, as well, and confer with
their associates, who turn out to be Jeff and Barbie Gordon. Barbie is
intent on murdering Billy, which will forever eliminate the
possibility of his returning. Jeff refuses to go that far but suggests
kidnapping as a reasonable alternative. They agree and plan the
abduction. |
|
|
Eric has ordered Billy into the studio to rerecord the stolen
tracks. Kobler and her people tie into the studio speaker system and
shatter everyone's senses with ear-piercing feedback. With everyone
knocked out, they enter the studio and drag Billy out and into a
waiting car. Diana, working on some of her own material in a nearby
studio, hears the feedback and whirls into Wonder Woman. She races
into the studio, disconnects the speakers and , as everyone comes to,
she dashes out the window and down to the street just in time to see
the car with Billy speed off, but Wonder Woman catches Marty before he
can reach his car. She gets names and addresses from him and leaves.
"AntiMatter" now join in the search for Billy, collaring
Kobler in the process. Wonder Woman, at the Gordon house, disposes of the
duo and then enlists the help of their dogs to locate Billy who is
sequestered in their storage shed. |
|
After everyone is apprehended and the police have taken the
extortionists away, Eric, AntiMatter and Diana return to the studios.
Eric, with the extortion scheme now out of the way is hoping to begin
a relationship with Diana. Now Diana must reveal that she to not Kathy
Meadows but an undercover agent. Bric is outraged by the deception,
but when Diana starts her next take his frown turns to a broad smile
-after all, his record label is still solvent, he has his superstar
back, and he didn't have to lose the million dollars.
