Synopsis:
The Holliday Girls enlist Wonder Woman to help their friend Dr. Lana Kurree. Dr. Kurree has invented a cure for cancer, but during an unauthorized test of the new drug, a man was killed. Lana fears she will be blamed for murder, and her boyfriend Carl Ambishun wants her to sign over the rights to the drug to save herself. Wonder Woman tries to convince Lana not to sign over the rights, since she believes Carl is a crook. Lana, however, trusts Carl.

The Holliday Girls then take Lana atop a mountain to clear her mind. However, the magical winds of time carry Lana and the girls into the past. Lana then relives events during Roman times which mirror her current plight. Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor come to the rescue, but Lana still trusts Carl.

After the trip to Rome, Lana is then wisked away to the american frontier where once again events parallel her present day situation. This time Wonder Woman is able to show Lana that she should trust herself rather than her fiancee.

When Lana returns to the present, Carl frames her for murder and captures the Holliday Girls. Wonder Woman manages to rescue the girls, find proof against Carl, and exonerate Lana.
