Synopsis:
Steve Trevor tracks down the pieces of a missing formula in Europe. The last piece is delivered to him by Eeras, queen of Aurania, a nation from Atlantis. Steve and Eeras begin their return to America, but stop first in Atlantis. The plane runs out of fuel, and the two occupants are captured by Eeras's enemies the Venturians.
Before his plane goes down, Steve radioed a message to Wonder Woman. She locates the entrance to Atlantis and meets the Venturians. She feigns weakness, allowing herself to be captured in order to find Steve. The Venturian Queen Clea forces Steve to fight for his life in an arena. Wonder Woman protects him, while Eeras uses the secret formula to knock the Venturians unconscious. Wonder Woman and Steve then return with the formula to America.
