 Diana Prince (LYNDA
CARTER) paces alongside her disabled car which is on the side of the
road, As she glances at her watch and looks around the area, she
suddenly hears the sound of an approaching car. A jeep comes up the
fairly deserted road toward her and as it comes closer, the driver
stops. The driver, Thorp (CRAIG LITTLER) addresses her. She chooses
her words carefully- and within seconds the passwords are exchanged
and Thorpe knows that she-is the right person. He is thrilled that he
will be working with one of the top agents of the IADC who turned
double agent. Thorpe informs her that his boss needs the information
he requested within the-next two days. He refuses to tell Diana who
his boss is and takes off. Diana whirls into Wonder Woman
Motorcyclist, borrows a motorcycle and in hot pursuit, catches Thorp.
She loops the lasso around him and after questioning him, learns that
Harrison Fynch (JOSEPH SIROLA) is the man who wants to buy the
information from Diana and she also learns that Fynch is preparing to
set up a surveillance operation in Washington. Thorp tells Diana that
he is to meet Fynch's contact, but Diana decides that it will be she
who meets the contact, not Thorp.

Leon Gurney (JARED MARTIN), the owner of Fun Universe, an
amusement park, has just received an unannounced visitor in his
office. As Leon hands Fynch a cup of coffee, he asks him the nature of
his business. Much to his surprise, Gurney finds out that Fynch wants
to purchase the amusement park. He explains to Fynch that it is not
for sale and that he and his brother always dreamed about owning a
park. His brother, Davey, dreamed up most of the rides and designed
them and the park. Davey is missing in action in Vietnam and no way
does Leon want to sell it. Fynch gets up to get more coffee, asks Leon
if he also wants a refill, and as he walks to the coffee machine,
Fynch attaches a tiny electronic bugging device to the base of Leon's
coffee mug.

In his hotel suite, Fynch is with one of his henchmen, Pierce
(MARC ALAIMO). He places a medium-sized transistor radio on a table
and pulls the antenna to full height. He finds the station he wants,
sits back and listens. The voices he hears are that of Leon and one of
his employees, Kirk (FRED LERNER). The conversation is Kirk telling
Leon that he and other employees have seen a horrible looking figure
of a man in the park. Leon has heard this story a number of times
before but always covers it up. He tells Kirk to leave his office and
he resents him spreading the rumor that Fun Universe is haunted by
some depraved monster. He tells Kirk that he doesn't want one word out
to the public or the news media. Fynch smiles as he now has found out
a way for Leon to sell the park.

Thanks to the fifty-cent piece in Pierce' pocket, Steve and
Diana can hear the conversation between Pierce and Fynch. Fynch tells
Pierce that he had just heard that a young orphan has disappeared from
the park and he orders Pierce to plant a bomb in the ferris wheel.
With all this bad luck, perhaps Leon will sell him the park. Steve and
Diana realize that an amusement park is an ideal cover for Fynch's
operations. Constant crowds, lots of diversions, the park is a perfect
place for agents to rendezvous and pass information and, with his
interest in micro-waved phone conversations, the tower at the park
would be a perfect place to set up monitoring equipment Fynch must be
stopped. Diana takes on the assignment. |

Pierce, posing as a member of the clean-up crew, enters the
park Diana finds a quiet spot and whirls into Wonder Woman. She
follows him at a safe distance. As he makes his way toward the ferris
wheel, he passes a shrub, when suddenly something step out directly in
front of him. His surprise turn to horror when he sees its face. He
runs, dropping the tool case which bursts open when it lands. The
creature stoops down, picks up the case to examine it when Wonder
Woman bursts onto the scene and halts abruptly, frozen in place She
doesn't scream as Pierce did, but would like to. What she sees is a
man's face hideously deformed. He grabs the tool case and runs.
Knowing the park better than Wonder Woman, he looses her. The man
lowers himself through a manhole and lands in the tunnel, right in the
path of Randy. Randy jumps back with a gasp of fright, wide-eyed. The
man tells Randy not to be frightened and introduces himself as David
(JARED MARTIN). Together they examine the tool case and within moments
Randy is put at ease and is no longer frightened. David explains that
he was in Vietnam flying a chop-per carrying napalm. He wants
every-one to think the explosion killed him. Since his brother owns
the park, it is best he stays hidden. In the meantime, Fynch has
ordered Pierce to get Diana Prince whatever the cost...
