Synopsis

Captain Steve Trevor crashes on Paradise Island and is nursed back to health, and has to be returned to the U.S. Queen Hippolyte's daughter has fallen in love with him, so the Queen tells her Diana the story of the Amazons and how she must not leave the island, lest she lose her eternal life. She uses the Magic Sphere to show how Trevor crashed on Paradise Island, but refuses to allow Diana to return the Captain to the U.S., so she holds a contest to select the suitable Amazon to do the chore. Diana, in disguise, wins the contest, and is allowed the return the Captain home.

The Earl of Greed is imprisoned on Mars, and suddenly, Adolf Hitler is acting less greedy on Earth. Wonder Woman gives Etta the elixir of living death so her astral spirit can animate one of Deception's phantasms. Shackled, and with her eyes sealed with tape, Wonder Woman is too vain to tear off the tape and lose her eyelashes, so she escapes blindfolded.

Indexer Notes

The abilities of Dr. Psycho and the Duke of Deception are similar, except that the Duke must create his ectoplasmic phantasms prior to using them, whereas the Doctor can form them at will, as long as he has a hypnotized medium drawing ectoplasm from the spirit world.

Synopsis

Queen Hippolyte, having noted strange things in her Magic Sphere, asks her daughter about why Americans are trying to conserve paper. Diana explains that the Americans use paper to pack rations, cartridges and shells in it, use it to line their shoes, being used to make bomb bands, practice bombs wing tips, parachute flares, airplane signals and other essentials for war. Wonder Woman then repeats the need for all boys and girls to also collect and turn in all waste paper themselves in this effort.
