Synopsis:
While pursuing a killer through a wooded area with Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, Etta Candy has a squirrel steal her last piece of candy. Etta follows the squirrel into a hole where she discovers a leprechaun. Etta then forces the leprechaun to return her candy. Wonder Woman follows Etta down the hole and distracts her. The leprechaun then escapes, but gets even with Etta by giving her rheumatism.

While Wonder Woman helps Etta, the leprechauns steal her lasso. They use it to take the girls prisoner, while Steve catches up to the killer in an underground tunnel. When Steve is buried in a landslide, Wonder Woman comes to his aid, then Steve unties her.

Wonder Woman makes peace with the leprechauns, who soon discover that the killer has stolen their golden hammers. The killer then enters the magical Shamrock Land where he enchants Princess Elaine. Wonder Woman follows and stops the killer from stealing the princess's jewels. The killer is then turned over to the fairies for punishment.

Wonder Woman then performs for the people of Shamrock Land. She inadvertently helps to release the killer from a moonbeam prison, losing her memory in the process. The killer then uses magic darts to influence the princess and become Prime Minister. A revolt ensues with Steve and Timothy O'Rourke leading the resistance. Etta and the leprechauns help restore Wonder Woman's memory, then she finally defeats the killer.
