Synopsis for "A Duke Named Deception"
June 1942: In New York City, Wonder Woman and the Flash take down a gang of Nazi assassins. Wonder Woman lectures Flash about Equality. Meanwhile behind the scenes, the Duke of Deception has been using his illusions to frame Wonder Woman as a national menace.
That evening, Diana meets Jay, to patch up their quarrel, at Liberty Island. The Duke fools Wonder Woman into a destructive fight with the Statue of Liberty, which gets knocked over in the fracas, and then he fools her into attacking some American sailors. The Flash runs across the Hudson River to intervene, but the Duke of Deception distracts him with an illusory sea monster. Wonder Woman finishes beating up the sailors, just before a detachment arrives from Fort Dix, to arrest her.
