Synopsis for Wonder Woman: "The Invasion of the Sun Warriors"

A curtain of cosmic dust surrounds Earth. During a USAF test of a new model stratosphere plane, this curtain is damaged. Etta Candy and the Holliday Girls fly one of these planes, to the Sun, which is inhabited. Sun Warriors led by Queen Flamina capture the girls, but Etta reaches out to Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor for help. Queen Flamina also wants help, from Steve, to install a series of light receiving sets that will enable Flamina's warriors to attack Earth.

When the attack takes place, Hippolyta and the Amazons meet Flamina's warriors. While Flamina's attention is occupied with that, Wonder Woman rescues the Holliday Girls, and they return to Earth. The light receiving sets are then destroyed, and the cosmic dust curtain is repaired, which thwarts Flamina from sending another attack force.

Synopsis for Sargon the Sorcerer: "The Man Who Met Himself"

After a performance, Sargon's surprised to be met by not one Max, but two! Confused by this, he touches an orange that turns into the knob of a door that leads him into the sanctum of his archfoe, the Blue Lama. She tries to steal his magic ruby, but he makes it too big for her to move. While he's distracted by the counterfeit Max, Blue Lama brings the snakes on the armrests of her throne to life to attack Sargon.

Later, Sargon appears to give a magical performance, but the real Sargon comes onstage, having escape from the Blue Lama's trap, and reveals the first Sargon as the sorceress herself. He makes some plant vines wrap up Blue Lama, who turns herself into flame to escape, but Sargon magically douses it with water, leaving no trace of his enemy.

Synopsis for Wildcat: "The Count That Never Ended!"

In a championship bout, Ted Grant gets knocked down, and a ten-count begins. Before it can conclude, another Ted Grant jumps into the ring, and knocks the first "Ted Grant" out of the ring, and busts off his disguise-mask, with one punch. He then fights the bout and wins it. After the fight, Grant's manager Stretch Skinner gets kidnapped by the Huntress, with a written set of demands left behind. Ted changes to Wildcat, and rides to the designated meeting place on his Cat-o-Cycle. At the waterfront, Wildcat rides his bike off the end of a pier, switches a lever, and converts the bike to an aquaplane. He gets himself aboard an anchored sailing ship, the "Seven Seas", where the Huntress has got Stretch Skinner tied to a mast. Some thugs jump Wildcat from behind. Wildcat easily thrashes them, but has trouble defeating the very-acrobatic Huntress. He sets Stretch free, but Huntress tags him with a nonfatal shot from a whaling harpoon gun, which knocks him into the water. Huntress opens a hatch in the hull of her ship, and adds some sharks to the harbor.

At a sports arena, Huntress has bet heavily against Ted Grant, in that evening's bout, expecting the real Grant to not show up, and her fake Grant to lose. But at the last minute the real Ted Grant does show up, and gets into the fight, which he wins. Plus on his way into the building he beats up some more of Huntress' gang. Huntress, in disguise, escapes undetected.
