 An ambulance comes to a
gentle stop near a parking garage elevator. Out steps Marshall Henshaw
(JEREMY SLATE) -a big man wearing a hat down to his ears, large opaque
glasses, a scarf around his neck, a long overcoat and tennis shoes. He
thanks the driver and tells them he'll return in a few minutes. Once
inside the building he greets his old friend, a Prime Minister from a
European country and within minutes, the sale of 'Missy' -Missile
-Systems -Scrambler, is made. Steve Trevor (LYLE WAGGONER) is present
and confirms to the Prime Minister that 'Missy' is ready to be
shipped. Henshaw leaves the meeting and heads for the ambulance. He
immediately recognizes that it is a different driver but too late. A
cloth, doused in ether, is put over his face. Once inside the
ambulance, the labels, jewelry and identification of any kind are
destroyed. Since Henshaw is the richest man in the world, he kept a
very low profile and the two heavies are convinced that it will take
people years to believe who he really is. They look for an
out-of-the-way place to dump him.

In the meantime, Diana
Prince (LYNDA CARTER), is in the Henshaw factory preparing to put the
missile device in a truck for the sixty-mile drive to the Prime
Minister's private freighter. Diana will tail the truck -a furniture
van - and the sooner the Scrambler gets out of the country, the
happier everyone will be. If anything should happen, it could cause an
international incident. Suddenly, a shot is heard and Diana and the
security men instinctively turn toward the door. With their backs
turned, a janitor walks towards the table, steals the real 'Missy' and
an exact duplicate is put in its place. The shot heard was a car back
firing. The missile is loaded and Diana is following the van for many
miles without incident. As the driver approaches a curve, and as he
tries to slow down, he finds that he has no brakes. Diana, seeing the
van approach the curve at such high speed knows that something is
wrong. -She jumps out of her car and whirls into Wonder Woman. She
throws a golden lasso which settles around the bumper and stops the
truck. She sees a device attached to the bumper, pitches the device
over the cliff and it explodes in a shower of rock and flame. She
opens the door to the back of the van and gapes in awe. The 'Missy'
has been stolen.

She returns to Henshaw factory and demands to talk to the
person in charge of the warehouse. Lucy DeWitt (MARLYN MASON) greets
her and when Diana hears her name, she is surprised. DeWitt is
Henshaw's friend and confidante and one of the few people in the world
who know what Henshaw looks like. DeWitt promises Diana that nothing
will leave the warehouse without the IADC's approval. When Diana
leaves, Lucy's smile fades and she grows serious.

Henshaw, who was tossed off the ambulance in a wooded area, is
just beginning to come to. A young boy, Barney (BARRY MILLER) finds
him and takes him back to where he lives. Where he lives, is a shack.
He is an orphan who has run away from orphanages, foster homes and an
aunt. Henshaw borrows the little money Barney has and the two of them
take a cab into town to the hotel where Henshaw's assistant, Dunfield
(ROGER PERRY), the Prime Minister (CARMEN ZAPATA) and Steve are. Steve
is trying to pacify the Prime Minister who is very disturbed at the
loss of the missile. The phone in the suite rings and when the doorman
tells Dunfield that a man claiming to be Henshaw wants to see him,
Dunfield tells him to throw the man out. Henshaw can't believe what he
is hearing and then he analyzes what it is all about -Dunfield plans
to steal the missile. He and Barney leave and head for Lucy's house.
Lucy has just also received a call from Dunfield. He tells her about
Henshaw. He also tells her that Missy will be delivered to the black
market buyer and by evening, they will be on their way to Switzerland.
Henshaw and Barney enter her apartment and she tells them to leave
before she has her bodyguard kill them both. Henshaw now learns that
she and Dunfield are in this thing together. He can't understand why.
They leave the apartment and unbeknown to Lucy, Barney lifted her car
keys. He gives them to Henshaw and they heat out for the factory.

Henshaw has a slight accident and Diana, who is on her way back
to the factory to question Lucy, picks them both up in her car. She
toes not know who they are. Henshaw asks her to stop so that he can
make a phone call and she walks with him to the phone booth. Barney is
left alone in the car and is kidnapped by one of Lucy's men. A gun is
left with instructions for Henshaw to kill Diana. It is then that he
tells her who he is. He tosses the gun away and roars off in her car.
Diana walks off to a safe area and whirls into Wonder Woman.

In the factory, Dunfield and Lucy get Missy and decide to take
Barney along with them to the airport as protection. Just as they |
|
are
about to leave, Wonder Woman enters the picture. One thug fires two
shots at her which she easily deflects. Dunfield and Lucy split up
with Dunfield taking Barney with him. Henshaw captures Lucy and Wonder
Woman captures Dunfield. Barney is safe. The baddies are taken away.
Steve, Diana and the IADC make sure that Missy will be on its way to
Europe within hours. Ant, Henshaw, who is completely taken with
Barney, tells him that he will never have to live in the shack again.
The richest man in the world wants to adopt him....
