Synopsis:
Gangster Ambrose Venture seeks to obtain the secret of eternal youth from the Amazons. He hires Roba Jewel to gain access to Paradise Island and steal the waters of the Fountain of Youth. Roba tricks Wonder Woman into taking her to Paradise Island. She then uses a Venus Girdle on Wonder Woman to make her obey.
Wonder Woman is forced to lead Roba to the secret location of the Fountain. When Roba drinks from it, Aphrodite removes the power of eternal youth, causing all Amazons to become mortal.
Roba then meets with Ambrose who has landed nearby on Reform Island. While Hippolyte leads an attack on the gangster, Roba feels remorse for her actions. She releases Wonder Woman who then defeats Ambrose. Roba is taken before Aphrodite who forces her to remain on Reform Island. The Goddess then restores eternal youth to the Amazons.
