Synopsis for Wonder Woman: "The Menace of Doctor Poison"
While Diana is helping Steve recover from the injuries sustained in their earlier adventure, they are abducted by a pair of disguised Gestapo agents. The agents take Diana and Steve to a deserted mansion in the South, where they are met by Doctor Poison, the masked chief of the Nazis' Poison Division. Doctor Poison attempts to force military secrets from Steve via truth serum, but Diana manages to secretly sabotage the needle, allowing Steve to feed the Nazis false information.
Satisfied, Doctor Poison orders that Steve and Diana be confined in separate rooms until further notice, and resumes development of the Nazis' latest weapon: Reverso, a drug which compels victims to do the exact opposite of what they are told. As soon as Diana is left alone, however, she changes into Wonder Woman and escapes the mansion. Wonder Woman is determined to rescue Steve, but realizes that a direct assault would endanger his life, as Doctor Poison has him under heavy armed guard.
Overnight, Doctor Poison's men contaminate a local Army camp's water with Reverso, sowing chaos among the recruits and damaging their morale. Meanwhile, Diana travels to Holliday College in search of Etta Candy, a sorority and band leader whom she'd previously befriended as Nurse Diana Prince. With Etta's help, Wonder Woman assembles a team of one hundred college girls, disguises them as a marching band, and "invades" Doctor Poison's mansion.
The Nazi spies underestimate the harmless-looking girls marching on their headquarters, and are quickly seduced and overwhelmed. With Steve's life no longer at risk, Wonder Woman quickly rescues him, then confronts Doctor Poison and reveals the dreaded scientist to actually be a woman. The enraged Doctor Poison - in reality Princess Maru of Japan - is quickly subdued by Etta, and forced to surrender Reverso's antidote to Steve.
Upon his return to the military hospital, Steve becomes a national hero. He continues to insist, however, that Wonder Woman be given all of the credit.
