Synopsis:
After spurning her three suitors: Steve Trevor, Bird-Man, and Mer-Man, Wonder Woman stops a mysterious island from falling from the sky. When she investigates the island, Wonder Woman finds a prince who was transformed into a monster on his wedding day. Distraught, the monster chases Wonder Woman away, but the Amazon returns to befriend the monster. Again the prince rejects Wonder Woman, believing that she only feels pity for him. In his anger, the monster causes the collapse of the wedding hall.

Wonder Woman is caught in the damage. When the monster realizes what he has done, he regrets his actions. Wonder Woman regains consciousness and offers to marry the monster. Despite protests of Hippolyta, Bird-Man, and Mer-Man, Wonder Woman intends to carry through with the wedding.

During the ceremony, the monster prince runs from the chapel. Wonder Woman follows him out and nearly falls off a cliff. The monster momentarily returns to his original form, when he risks his life to save Wonder Woman. However, his monster form reasserts itself, and he leaves Wonder Woman to continue a life of solitude.
