Synopsis:
Doctor Psyhco escapes jail by creating a duplicate of himself out of ectoplasm. When the guards discover the duplicate is dead, they bury it believing it is the real villain.

Free from jail, Psycho tries to kill Steve Trevor disguised as Buenos Noches. Diana Prince saves Steve, but his secretary Lila is killed. Wonder Woman then digs up Psycho's grave only to find it empty. Psycho surprises her from behind and buries Wonder Woman. She awakens later when Etta breaks Psycho's control over Joan White, his former secretary, who was functioning as his medium. Wonder Woman digs free, then recaptures Dr. Psycho.
