Synopsis:
Wonder Woman visits a museum which features a lifelike statue of her. When she meets the sculptor, he seems familiar. The sculptor is the brother of a former crook, now serving a long prison term after being captured by Wonder Woman. The man has now vowed to get revenge for his incarcerated brother.

That night, the statue comes alive. It is really an android capable of movement. The Wonder Woman android knocks out a janitor and robs the museum before returning to its original position. The janitor then blames the real Wonder Woman for the crime.

Wonder Woman investigates and discovers that the statue is an android. She doesn't think anyone will believe her story without capturing the man behind the crime. Wonder Woman battles the robot and destroys it. She then pretends to be the android, waiting for the inventor to return. When he does, Wonder Woman catches him off guard and uses her lasso to get him to confess.
