Synopsis:
A female pirate known as Nifty infiltrates Holliday College. She kidnaps Professor Chemico who has learned the secrets of atomic energy. Etta Candy, the Holliday Girls and Steve Trevor are also captured. Wonder Woman rescues them and captures the pirates. However, Nifty unknowingly summons a strange monster that takes Wonder Woman and the pirates back in time.

Steve and the Holliday Girls follow Wonder Woman back to the 18th century with the help of Paula. The pirate gang is now operating at sea. Once again, Wonder Woman defeats the pirates, but the monster appears again, taking the entire group back to the age of Rome.

In Rome, the Holliday Girls are turned into slaves, while Wonder Woman meets Julius Caesar. The Amazon tries to retrieve the girls, but is also captured. Steve leads the Romans against the pirates and frees the Amazon. This time when the pirates are defeated, Nifty surrenders. With her desire for revenge gone, the monster does not return. Wonder Woman then promises to take the girl to Reform Island for rehabilitation.
