Synopsis:
Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor go to Germany to fight the Nazi underground. The Nazis are protected by Valkyries who carry Steve away into the sky. Wonder Woman pursues them, but she is forced to surrender in order to save Steve's life.

Before her capture, Wonder Woman is able to contact her mother on Paradise Island for aid. Hippolyte mounts an attack on Valhalla with the help of the Amazons riding sky kangas. The Amazons are victorious.

Meanwhile, Steve's memory has been removed and Wonder Woman made a slave. Wonder Woman is forced to perform at a banquet for Hippolyte wearing a mask. She is able to bite through her gag to talk with Steve and restore his memory. Together they defeat the remaining Valkyries and leave Valhalla in ruins.
