Synopsis:
Wonder Woman visits Olive Norton, a young girl who received Amazon training. She discovers that Olive has become a bully. To correct Olive's behavior, Wonder Woman brings the girl back to Paradise Island to learn loving submission. Olive is forced to undergo more training. She is also shown a movie depicting Wonder Woman as a child.

In the movie, the young Diana bests several adult Amazons in a wild hunt. Her mother awards her with a young Wonder Woman costume which the Time Sphere revealed she will wear in the future.

Wearing the new costume, Diana seeks an adventure inside the crater of a volcano. She befriends a race of Limestone People led by Queen Lovelee. The Limestone People are then attacked by their enemies the Radium Giants who wish to conquer Paradise Island. Young Diana defeats the Radium Giants and saves the Limestone People.

After watching the movie, Olive is ready to return home. The new training has taught her to control her temper and compassion for others.
