Synopsis:
Diana Prince learns that the girls working at the Bullfinch Department Store are being mistreated. She confronts the manager, but he is uninterested in the wellfare of the girls. The store owner Gloria is also not interested, so Wonder Woman uses hypnotism to force Gloria to go to work at the store.
When the manager, Googins, and his partner Guigi Del Slimo rob the store and pin the blame on the girls, Wonder Woman steps in to stop them. Gloria has seen the terrible conditions and has the manager arrested. She then institutes policies to treat the girls fairly.
