Etta Candy and the Holliday Girls join Wonder Woman on Paradise Island for a festival. While riding a sky kanga, Etta falls onto a planetoid hidden in the clouds. The planetoid is inhabited by plant people called Rykornians who want to invade Earth.
Etta summons Wonder Woman for help. Two Rykornians then sneak aboard the Amazon's invisible plane and return to Earth with the humans. Then using special Rykornians seeds planted in fertile Earth soil, the Rykornians quickly grow an army. The Rykornian plants are impervious to Earth weapons and soon the invasion is begun.
Wonder Woman's friends are all captured by the Rykornians and put to work as slaves, planting new crops. The Amazon visits Paula's laboratory where they construct a machine capable of destroying the alien plants. Wonder Woman then uses the machines to thwart the invasion. The remaining Rykornians are then send back to their home in the sky.
