Synopsis:
Wonder Woman receives a summons for help from Paradise Island when several Amazons are abducted. She flies to Paradise Island with the Holliday Girls to investigate. Wonder Woman suspects that Valkyries have kidnapped the amazon girls, so she uses herself as bait for them. Her plan works, and she is abducted along with the Holliday Girls.
Wonder Woman and the girls are taken to Odin's palace where he plans to turn them into Valkyries. Wonder Woman summons Steve Trevor who is able to rescue Odin's other prisoners. The distraction allows Wonder Woman to escape and capture the real Valkyries. She takes them to Reform Island for punishment, then has Aphrodite remove the spell which caused her and her friends to sprout Valkyrie wings.
