Synopsis:
Young Don Elliot has become a delinquent and destroys public property. His father beats him as discipline which only makes matters worse. Wonder Woman appeals to the courts to let her attempt to reform Don. She brings the boy to Paula's lab where he is able to visualize his own desires. When he sees how his desire for dominance rules his life, Don sees the need to keep that desire in check. Don's father also agrees to a less physical form of punishing the boy.
