 Diana Prince (LYNDA
CARTER) is with Dr. Roberts (JOHN O'LEARY) in his lab at the U.S.
Department of Biological Sciences, discussing a vial of phosphorescent
green slime. In a vacuum it is harmless, but when airborne it attacks
host tissue and destroys red cells. Death is almost instantaneous.
Until an antidote is found, not one living creature is safe. When Dr.
Roberts walks Diana to the cabinet where the vial is safely locked and
hidden, he suddenly turns white. He sees an empty case..the vial is
gone. George (BOB HASTINGS), a lab technician, runs down the corridor
carrying the vial and as the guard raises his gun, Dede (CAROL VOGEL)
stops the guard from shooting him. She explains that it is better for
him to escape than to drop the vial and jeopardize hundreds of
thousands of lives. George runs to the parking lot, jumps onto his
motorcycle and takes off. Diana finds a safe spot and whirls into
Motorcycle Wonder Woman, grabs a nearby bike and takes off after him.
Since George ha a head start on her, he finds an alley, removes the
thick glasses and the wig and also peels off his face. By the time
Wonder Woman reaches the spot, a handsome man, Ward Selkirk (DONNELLY
RHODES) walks past her. She spots the bike George was riding, hops off
her bike, looks around and in the trashbin she sees the wig and the
lifelike mask of George. Poor George. What could have happened to the
real George?

Diana, Roberts and Steve Trevor (LYLE WAGGONER) cannot
understand how an imposter got through the security check. The only
thing they figure out is that someone duplicated George's fingerprints
as well as his face. Dede interrupts telling them that Professor
Zander (ARTHUR MALET) is returning Roberts' call. Zander tells Roberts
to quit calling him and stop interrupting him while he is trying to
find the antidote. While Zander is talking to Roberts, Mrs. Thrip
(HERMIONE BADDELEY) Zander's housekeeper tells him that she is leaving
for the afternoon. She is on her way to a dating agency. She decided
to answer a free offer. She is warmly greeted by Val (TAAFFEE
O'CONNOR) and taken to a studio and seated in an armchair with a
camera in front of her. Val tells her to talk about herself but to
keep her hands flat on the red markings on the chair's arms. In the
control room, Ward keeps his eyes on the monitor and as Mrs. Thrip
talks about herself, Wart presses a button on the console. Suddenly, a
bust that has been in a case, starts vaguely resembling a face and in
another case, a pair of hands. As Mrs. Thrip keeps talking, the bust
takes on the facial characteristics of Mrs. Thrip and within moments,
a mask is made and peeled off the bust and gloves are made and peeled
off the hands. Dede (who obviously is not loyal to Roberts) and Ward
are delighted. With the lifelike masks and gloves, their "Mrs.
Thrip" will have the antidote and thus will have complete control
of the virus. This is the same method they used to get their
"George" into the lab. |

Zander now thinks that he is about one hundred per cent certain
that he has found the antidote and calls Roberts to tell him. Dede
eavesdrops on the call and immediately calls Ward, telling him to get
their 'Mrs. Thrip" over to the professor's house. Robert has also
called the IADC and Diana is told by Steve to get over to the
professor's house, get the antidote and deliver it to the testing lab.
However, he is too late. Ward's "Ms. Thrip" has been there,
knocked out the professor and left with the antidote.

Diana arrives at the house, finds a quiet place and whirls into
Wonder Woman. She starts looking for Mrs. Thrip and spots her. But, it
is the real Mrs. Thrip and Diana knows that the double got away with
the antidote. Upon questioning Mrs. Thrip, she tells Diana and Steve
that the professor tells her everything about his work, but life is
very lonely and that is why she accepted a free offer from a dating
bureau. Diana remembers that George also mentioned a computer datlng
service and she decides to become a client. Upon entering the building
she meets a young man by the name of John Blake (MICHAEL HOIT) who
flips out over Diana' looks. She just ignores him. John is put in the
same chair as Mr. Thrip and George were sitting in and before long a
mask is made out of his face and he continues talking about his
profession. He is a helicopter pilot and one of the few licensed to
fly over the White House. Diana is then put into the chair and Dede
recognize her. Diana talk and suddenly she begins to choke and cough
and when she stands up, she fall to the floor. Dede then dresses as
their "JOHN" and she and Ward leave. Val returns to the room
to finish off Diana but she is confronted by Wonder Woman. Wonder
Woman learns who the real John is and immediately races to catch the
chopper. |

Wonder Woman knows that Dede and Ward will throw the vial
toward the White House and kill tens of thousands of people. She
catches the chopper and they spot her. Dede hurl the vial toward |
|
|
the
White House and it spins end over end in flight and Wonder Woman, like
an outfielder, whirls and runs back hoping to field the "long
fly." She then gathers all her strength and uncoiling, leaps
upward and in mid-air her hand catches the vial. She returns the vial
and antidote to Professor Zander and the virus is now harmless.
