Synopsis:
Gerta, the willful daughter of Paula, has created a formula that transforms tiny sharks into mermaids. Paula is upset with Gerta for conducting the experiment, so she sends her daughter with Wonder Woman to Reform Island. They also bring the mermaids.

With the aid of a Venus Girdle, Gerta learns the ways of loving submission once again. Meanwhile the mermaid sharks have grown in size and intelligence. They also grow wings that allow them to escape.

The mermaids revert to their shark nature and attack the Amazons, capturing Hippolyte and others. Wonder Woman and Mala come to the rescue. Gerta is able to force the mermaids to submit with another formula which supresses their shark tendencies.
