Comments:
This story must occur after the second story of Wonder Woman #39 as evidenced by Dean Sourpuss now being called Dean Merrily following her marriage in that story.
Synopsis:
Wonder Woman saves the life of banker Thomas Tighe after he is locked in his own vault. Tighe hates women, but he is pressured into donating money to Holliday College. He decides to stipulate in the donation that girls must complete five tasks which men could not in order to receive the money. Wonder Woman then selects five students to help her complete Tighe's tasks.
Ruth Rorick then helps Captain Rab Harangues capture a killer whale. Assisted by Wonder Woman, Mary Lane cuts down a forest of giant Rojo trees for James Magnus. Jean Townsend guides Professor Earl Dean's expedition to the top of Rocky Crag. Janet Foster salvages a supply of radium from the ocean floor.
The last task is for Etta to pilot an airplane through Hollow Pass. A downdraft causes her plane to nearly crash, but Wonder Woman closes an opening that was creating the draft. Etta regains control and completes her task. Tighe is forced to reward the money to the college and reluctantly change his mind about women.
