Synopsis:
A wounded intelligence agent bursts into Diana Prince's boutique after closing. Before dying he warns of an assassination plot involving the visiting ambassador from Koronia. Without the full details, Diana goes into action. She protects the ambassador, Anatole Karoli from assassins when he arrives at the airport. She is then assigned as his protector during his trip. Diana stops additional assassins and safely gets Karoli to his meeting with the President. As the two men shake hands, Diana sees that Karoli is an imposter. She tackles him. He was the real assassin, and the President was his target. Diana's quick action saved the day.
