Synopsis:
Mars punishes the Duke of Deception for his failure with Doctor Psycho by making him a slave. Deception rallies the slave to his cause and together they overthrow Mars. Mars is released from his cell by the Earl of Greed, then goes to Earth to capture Wonder Woman.

Mars first takes over the moon by drugging the goddess Diana and gaining control of her nymphs. Then he captures Steve Trevor and Etta Candy, luring Wonder Woman into a trap. Etta creates a diversion, allowing Wonder Woman to revive Diana and escape. She then defeats Mars and releases the rest of his prisoners.
