Synopsis:
Wonder Woman visits the ranch of Hard Candy, Etta's father. During her stay, the owner of a neighboring ranch, Mark Holcome, is killed. Judy MacGregor, a former employee that hates all men, is suspected and arrested. Holcome's son Randy wants revenge and attacks the jail where Judy is being held. While Sheriff Gary Banks and the Holliday Girls hold off Holcome, Wonder Woman takes Judy to safety.

Judy still stubbornly clings to her hatred of men, so Wonder Woman takes her back in time to discover the reason for it. Strangely, they arrive in the year 1777 where Wonder Woman is captured by pirates. Judy loses her memory of the future, then boards a ship to America.

Judy is traveling to meet her future husband Randy Holcome when pirates attack the ship. She defends herself with a sword, then learns that Randy sent the pirates. Betrayed, Judy becomes angry and tries to kill all men. Wonder Woman is freed and stops Judy, who finally realizes that all men are not to blame for the actions of one.

Judy and Wonder Woman then return to the present where they rescue the Holliday Girls from Holcome's lynch mob. Holcome himself is then proved to be the killer of his own father. Judy goes on to fall in love with the sheriff.
