Synopsis:
An Amazon named Tonia wins an Amazon competition and earns a wish from Queen Hippolyta. She wants to visit the Man's World and fight crime like Wonder Woman. Both Hippolyta and Wonder Woman think it is a bad idea since Tonia will lose her immortality. Tonia refuses to change her wish, so Wonder Woman agrees to take her to the Man's World.

Before they leave, Wonder Woman convinces Tonia to accept a challenge. If Tonia can complete any one of three tasks in place of Wonder Woman she may stay in the Man's World. Tonia then tries to catch criminals three times. The first two times she fails, forcing Wonder Woman to rescue her. The third time she is apparently killed in action.

Wonder Woman returns to Paradise Island where Hippolyta is angry about Tonia's death. Wonder Woman then explains that Tonia is alive and well on Paradise Island. Tonia sent a robot in her place which was destroyed. Had Tonia's robot which was remotely controlled by the real Tonia succeeded in one of the three tasks, the real Tonia would have gone to the Man's World. Instead, Tonia realizes that it is too dangerous and agrees to remain on Paradise Island.
