Synopsis:
Wonder Woman partners with a movie studio to shoot a Hollywood movie on Paradise Island. Director Von Tender is angry that he won't be allowed to direct. Men are not allowed on Paradise Island, so the cast and crew must be all female. A serious of mishaps plague the picture before and after they reach Paradise Island. Von Tender is the lead suspect, but Wonder Woman proves that the real culprit is Tora Rivvers, a star who was passed over for the leading role and was instead cast as the villain. Wonder Woman finishes the film ahead of schedule and broadcasts the movie from Paradise Island to televisions in the Man's World. Tora is sent for rehabilitation of Transformation Island.
