Synopsis:
Octavia, the daughter of Queen Eeras, follows Wonder Woman to the Man's World to learn courage and wisdom. Though she is strong, Octavia lacks control. Wonder Woman takes her to Paradise Island to learn. When Octavia is forced to battle Queen Clea in a training exercise, Clea cheats and knocks out both Octavia and Wonder Woman.

Clea escapes with her two captives and returns to Atlantis. The manlings of Venturia have taken over the country, forcing all women into servitude. Octavia and Wonder Woman break free and stop the men from sealing off the entrance to Atlantis. Steve and the Holliday Girls then join forces with Wonder Woman and the Auranians to defeat the men. Clea is once again taken prisoner, and Octavia is installed as ruler of Venturia.
