Synopsis:
Ellie Paxton visits the office of military intelligence looking for Wonder Woman. She explains that her father was reported missing at sea. Another sailor claims to have seen women emerge from a volcano and capture Paxton's ship carrying prisoners of war. The sailor's story is dismissed as fantasy, but Wonder Woman suspects the Venturians are responsible.
Wonder Woman with the Holliday Girls enters Atlantis and meets Queen Eeras again. The Venturian queen is still held captive in an iron mask. Wonder Woman proves that the captive is really an imposter, Ptra, Clea's daughter. Clea has escaped and raided the Man's World for soldiers.
Clea leads an army of Nazi prisoners of war against Eeras and the Auranians. Wonder Woman falls victim to the devitamizer and is captured. She later escapes and rescues the american soldiers with the help of the Holliday Girls. Steve arrives with reinforcements, and Clea is once again defeated. Wonder Woman takes Clea and Ptra to Mala for reformation.
