The third episode of Wonder Woman airs on ABC, starring Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner. Anne Francis, Dick Van Patten and Bobby Van guest star. Following on from the ratings success of the introductory TV movie and two one-off specials before it, this is the beginning of the first season proper.
A string of sabotage incidents at Fort Russell, Maryland, a vital point in the supply chain for the U.S. war effort, points toward a high-level security breach. Major Trevor believes that a top-secret project is the target, and he and Diana quickly realize that a traveling beauty contest – supposedly to raise the morale of American troops – could be providing perfect cover for the saboteurs. Diana goes undercover, joining the beauty contest, but it’s almost too late before she and Trevor realize that the secret project isn’t the target. President Eisenhower, due to arrive soon at Fort Russell, is the target, and they may be too late to stop someone from assassinating him.
