Synopsis:
On Wooloo Island, native Chief Loko requests the help of American intelligence agents to fight a group of iron giants that are kidnapping members of his tribe. The agents dismiss Loko's plea as superstition. Undeterred, Loko visits Washington and makes his plea for help to Steve Trevor and Diana Prince. Steve agrees to investigate and brings the Holliday Girls along to act as translators.

While Steve and Loko climb the island's volcano, Etta and the girls explore the village. They are attacked by the iron giants and taken captive. Etta contact Wonder Woman for help via mental radio. While Wonder Woman travels to the island, Steve discovers that the rocks shot up from underground by the volcano contain gold.

Wonder Woman arrives and faces the iron giants, who have now captured Steve too. She is caught and forced to mine gold inside the volcano crater. Wonder Woman manages to escape and free the other captives. She then exposes the giants as men in metal suits led by Dr. Psycho's geologist brother. Once the crooks are caught, the Wooloo tribe is able to claim the gold deposits that are rightfully theirs.
