The Emperor of Saturn is called Mephisto in this story but as show in the first story of Wonder Woman #10, Mephisto was originally Saturno's name.

Synopsis:
Saturnette the leader of Saturn's female guard is nearly punished for her defeat along with Duke Saturno. The emperor gives Saturnette a chance to redeem herself by returning to Earth. The villainess steals an infra-red machine then uses it against Wonder Woman and her mother. The two amazons are captured and replaced by look-a-likes.

The imposters tell the other Amazons that Aphrodite has ordered an attack on the Man's World. While the Amazons prepare for battle, Diana and Hippolyta escape. They convince the Amazons that they are authentic, then capture the imposters. Saturnette makes one more try to stop Wonder Woman, but is defeated. Rather than face punishment on her home planet, Saturnette elects to remain a prisoner on Reform Island.
