 Diana Prince (LYNDA
CARTER) decides to spend her vacation with a friend and former
employee of the IADC Leslie O'Neill (GRACE GAYNOR), who now resides
with her 14 year-old daughter Jaime (CYNTHIA EILBACHER) in Santa
Corona, California which is billed in brochures as "Leisure
Capital Of The West."

Jaime, who is a wiz on the skateboard, is nagged by her friend
Kevin Wendell (PETER WISE) to sign up for the skateboarding
competition which is to be held within the next few days. She says
that she will and then the two decide to skateboard toward the arcade
and play the pinball machines. Jaime racks up a fantastic score. A
Texas gambler, Duane Morrisey (RON MASAK) notices this as he walks
past the youngsters toward the back room and emerges into a crowded,
swinging casino replete with blackjack, roulette and flashy women.

In the meantime, Diana has arrived and is warmly greeted by her
friend. They, as well as the residents of Santa Corona, are unaware
that a slick, ruthless "businessman," Evan Donelson (ERIC
BRAEDEN) wants to buy the beach club from its owner Howard Ketchum
(NEIL FLANAGAN). Ketchum refuses to sell knowing that Donelson will
turn the club into a gambling operation. To prove to Ketchum that he
means business, Donelson has a few of his thugs work over a sports car
that belongs to Ketchum's daughter. Donelson also wants to buy a few
deserted storefronts from John Key (JAMES RAY) who refuses to sell.
Key knows that Donelson will build a large convention center and he
does not want that kind of business or people in his town. Donelson
sends one of his thugs to scare Key. As Key is halfway across a
street, a car comes shrieking around the corner directly toward him.
He runs back to the curb, dives to the ground, just as the car veers
out of the way.

Diana, who was out walking, sees this and runs over to his aid
when she hears a man call her mane. Much to her surprise she sees Skye
Markham (JOHN REILLY) a former police officer. They agree to meet for
lunch and as soon as Skye leaves her he runs to Donelson's office
telling him that they have a problem -Diana Prince is in town. Somehow
they must get rid of her. A plan is devised. One day as Diana is
relaxing on the beach, two jocks, each driving a small speedboat turn
their boats toward shore and to Diana's surprise, run their boats
right up onto the beach, one boat on either side of her. They get out,
walk toward Diana, bristling with macho and decide that she has had
enough sun and that she should take a swim. At first Diana treats this
as a joke until they take her into very deep water. She struggles and
then kicks one in the stomach. She swims, runs away from them and once
on the beach, she dashes behind a cement bunker and whirls into Wonder
Woman. As the two jocks come out of the water, she lassos one of them.
From him she learns that Evan Donelson wants Diana Prince killed.

In the meantime, Duane is getting deeper in debt with the
gamblers. He remembers Jaime and her knack with winning at everything
in the arcade. He gives her a sob story about his daughter and begs
her to help him at blackjack. She agrees and buys her grown-up girls
clothes so that she will look older than her 14 years. Once inside the
gambling casino, Jaime is accepted and doing quite well. She then gets
bored and tells Duane she is going to the ladies room. On her way, she
panics when she sees a guard looking at her. She runs into a room
where Donelson and one of his men are discussing the gamblers. On the
wall is a map with all the casino locations. They spot her and run
after her. She disappears into the crowd and runs immediately to Diana
and tells her what happened. Diana who has an appointment with Skye
tells him that she can't meet him and she tells him that she just
found out about a gambling casino. She, Jaime and the police lead a
raid on the casino but when they arrive, they see a storage room
cluttered with draped tables and unused restaurant paraphernalia. No
one knew about the raid except Skye. Diana now knows that he is not
the good policeman anymore.

Donelson and one of his goons, Friedman (ART METRANO) must find
Jaime. They fear that if she does have a photographic memory then she
has a complete map of their operations in her head. Friedman finds out
that Jaime is going to enter the skateboarding contest and they devise
a plan. Jaime wins the skateboarding contest and Friedman, now posing
as a reporter, asks her to pose for some photos. He takes her outside
and once outside she recognizes him. She tries to escape but she is
caught. She is put into a car, her skateboard lying abandoned on the
pavement. Wonder Woman, who learned from Skye what they were going to
do to Jaime, races up in time to see the car taking off. She whirls
into skateboarding attire, takes skateboard and |
|
takes
off in pursuit of the speeding car. She catches up to the car, the two
men jump out of the car and Wonder Woman stars zigzagging around the
two of them. She does every freestyle trick in the book -she zooms
around and around making them so dizzy they don't know where to turn.
Wonder Woman captures them and they are turned over to the police. |

Donelson is put behind bars and his gambling casinos are closed
-thanks to Jaime for memorizing the map. Diana compliments her and
then Diana realizes she was cheated out of a vacation. However, she
knows that Steve (LYLE WAGGONER) is really a good guy and will let her
take another one -hopefully an uneventful one. |
