In "Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther", the heroine Amazonian princess disguising herself as a Yeoman under the direction of Major Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) and Steve's boss, General Phil Blankenship (Richard Eastham) in the War Department of Washington, DC, in 1942, will need to thwart the efforts of a secret spy network of the Nazis known as the Abwher. Steve is targeted by a Nazi sympathizer currently in prison, Baroness Von Gunter (Christine Belford, coolly beholden to her Fuhrer and the Third Reich, while attempting to fool America into believing she's reformed), and an American steel magnate (Bradford Dillman)
considered a patriot, who is called on by the government to investigate Steve for sabotage (a series of armed deliveries linked to Steve are orchestrated by the Abwher), he is working in concert with Von Gunter to implicate "America's All-American Hero". Blankenship feels helpless as his guy seems to be considered working with the Nazis as a traitor. A kid, whose hero is Sherlock Holmes, could very well give an assist to Steve and Wonder Woman, as he is the prison warden's son (he spies on Von Gunter and her prison guard Nazi sympathizer, Hanson (Ed Griffith) as the kid learns of how she leaves the prison without detection) and is privy to details they are unaware of.
Lynda Carter does her spin from military uniform to superhero costume when no one is looking, lassos those in peril, flies around to rescue folks (like the kid climbing a ladder to get to the top of the prison (the episode stretches credibility with how the kid moves around the prison a bit too freely), and drives a jeep out of the confines of a burning barn to save Steve from certain harm. So Wonder Woman stays busy. There's even a fun catfight between Wonder Woman and Von Gunther, as Steve gets into fisticuffs with Dillman's Arthur Deal III! Deal and Von Gunther just get a bit too cute with their masterplan to implicate and kill Steve, not anticipating Wonder Woman's infiltration (sure a knock-out gas subdues WW momentarily, but they underestimate her strength when bound with strong chain) to cause them such trouble. The finale at Deal's mansion maybe was a mistake on the part of the villains.
