Synopsis:
Steve Trevor and Diana Prince visit the prison to question Paula Von Gunther about Axis spies. The warden’s son Freddy finds Wonder Woman’s magic lasso in Diana’s suitcase and takes it. Later, Von Gunther sees the boy playing with the lasso and has a guard take it. She then uses the lasso to extract information from soldiers.

When the prison guard is killed, Wonder Woman is suspected. She allows herself to be thrown in prison to expose Von Gunther’s spy ring run from the prison. Freddy helps Wonder Woman get her lasso back and stop Von Gunther.
