Synopsis:
Wonder Woman rescues a female pilot from a plane crash. The girl then runs away before she can be identified. Wonder Woman finds a purse inside the plane which leads her to the home of Nina Close, the wife of Brutus, a big game hunter. Nina is upset at her husband, but Wonder Woman doesn't get involved.
Later, Diana Prince receives a call from Nina. She returns to the house to discover that Brutus has been placed in a locked mask that will poison him if taken off without unlocking it. Nina claims that a woman named the Mask put him in the mask and is demanding a ransom.
Wonder Woman tries to intercept the ransom payoff, only to discover that the Mask has stolen her invisible plane. The villain then kidnaps Brutus and the Holliday Girls. Wonder Woman comes to the rescue and exposes the Mask as Nina. The woman had suffered a breakdown, so her husband sends her to an institution for treatment.
