Synopsis:
Diana Prince is scheduled to award Wonder Woman with a medal during a public ceremony. Since Diana is secretly Wonder Woman, she concocts a plan to cover her dual identity. Wonder Woman, with the help of Paula and the Amazons, creates an animated dummy to substitute for Diana at the ceremony.

When the awards ceremony begins, crooks release a gas bomb, intending to take out Wonder Woman. The Amazon avoids being taken, but the crooks grab the Diana Prince dummy instead. Wonder Woman trails the crooks, who shoot the dummy. After being temporarily overcome by the crooks, Wonder Woman defeats them. She then pretends to take Diana to Paradise Island to save her life. When Diana returns alive, Steve Trevor and General Darnell are impressed by Wonder Woman's ability to heal her friend.
