Synopsis for "The Winds of Time"

Etta and the Holliday Girls ask Wonder Woman to help their graduated former member Dr. Lana Kurree. Kurree is a chemist who has been developing a cancer treatment called Plasmin, but someone used it on a patient without her knowledge and he died. Kurree has now been accused of murdering the man, and her fiance Carl is asking her to sign over all the rights to Plasmin to him, claiming he'll take the fall. After stopping Kurree from signing away her work Etta takes her for a hike to clear her mind, but Kurree's mental turmoil boils over and tosses them through the winds of time to ancient Rome.

After being tossed through time a bit Dr. Kurree and the Holliday Girls return to the present with Kurree's mind settled, an convinced of Carl's betrayal. Unfortunately Carl leads the police to arrest her, and has left behind a doctored sample of Kurree's Plasmin in her lab containing a deadly poison. As the Holliday Girls search Carl's labs for clues as to just how he carried out his plot Etta finds the trapdoor leading to his hidden lab which is set up to work with the aforementioned poison. Carl catches them there and ties them up, setting up a time delayed system to poison them as he takes a lock of Etta's hair to threaten Kurree into signing away her Plasmin. Steve catches Carl threatening Kurree in her cell and a fight breaks out while Wonder Woman helps the Holliday Girls escape.
