Synopsis for "Threat of the Triple Stars!"
While Steve Trevor is on an inspection tour of military bases, three triplet brothers, Joey, Jackie, and Johnny Star, decide to compete for Wonder Woman's affections. All three are poor physical specimens, but, by taking a serum given them by a "hungry scientist", they become the super-powered Triple Stars. Luckily, they are on hand to spell Wonder Woman at super-tasks on June 18, the one day each year in which she loses her powers for 24 hours. But, despite the fact that she is attracted to each of the Stars, who are now beefcake-style hunks, she refuses to fall for any of them. And when the Stars' temporary powers wear off, her own super-powers return, and she is able to stop a band of robbers herself. Later, she tells the trio that she cannot consider marriage as long as she has her super-heroic career.
