Synopsis:
Steve Trevor is given an aerial reconnaissance mission to photograph an enemy installation on Oolong Island. Eleven pilots have died trying to obtain the same photos, so Wonder Woman follows Steve. However, she is delayed by an enemy attack upon the U.S. naval fleet. Wonder Woman stops the attack, but loses track of Steve.

As Steve approaches Oolong, he ejects from his plane, then watches it explode as soon as the camera is activated. Steve is captured by the Chinese mastermind Egg Fu and turned into a human bomb. Egg Fu then launches Steve and a doomsday missile at the American fleet.

Wonder Woman intercepts Steve, who has become a deadly menace. She is unable to save him, but she redirects his path into the enemy missile. The explosion destroys the missile, Steve, and Wonder Woman herself, but the fleet is saved.

Informed of her daughter's demise, Hippolyta gathers the remains of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor and returns them to a laboratory on Paradise Island. Using an atomic structure reassembly beam, she restores Steve and her daughter. However, Steve's body is still infused with explosive energy. Wonder Woman finds that her own body has also become explosive, making them both a danger to the world.
