Synopsis for "Wonder Woman (1974 Movie)"

For reasons not explained in full, Diana, a princess living on an unnamed island filled with Amazons, is given the task of going to America to aid the people there. She emotionally says goodbye to her mother and sisters.

We then jump ahead an unknown length of time. Diana is now working for an unidentified secret U.S. government agency led by Steve Trevor. The agency is tasked with recovering a set of recently stolen code books that have been stolen from secret locations around the planet. The code books contain the key to identifying hundreds of undercover agents. After assigning his best men to come up with a plan to recover the books, he surreptitiously turns to Diana - who he knows is actually Wonder Woman, and is actually his best agent (despite working under cover as a secretary) - and assigns her to conduct her own investigations. These lead her in the direction of the wealthy and mysterious Abner Smith.

Notes

  • The character of Diana is altered considerably for the TV movie. Rather than displaying superheroic abilities, she is instead depicted as a competent spy and investigator with superior hand-to-hand combat and agility skills. The only accessories corresponding to the comics are her bracelets (though in the film they are treated as spy gadgets: one contains a small explosive, another is used as a grappling hook, and they can also be used as tracking devices), and Diana mentions her invisible plane to Abner.
