And your chance won't be denied
Woman of the hour

- Have you seen this? - As a matter of fact, I have.
I picked up a fresh copy off the news stand last night.
It seems to me that the tone of this article is a little skeptical.
Well, I'm not surprised.
You should've seen the faces of the reporters
when they asked me about her age.
And I told them she was about 27. 2,527, to be exact.
She doesn't look a day over 2,526.
- She'll be glad to hear that. - Hmm.
I must admit, though,
it's as much of a mystery to me as it was to my father years ago.
She looks the same.
Mm-hmm.
I was standing as close to Wonder Woman as I am to you right now.
And she looked as young and beautiful and fascinating...
Your father was a major then, wasn't he?
Yeah, the old Army Air Corps.
And I was wrapped in a cloak and carrying a dagger for the OSS.
Seems like yesterday.
- Did you see this? - Oh, yes, thank you, Diana.
Actually, I'm not sure they believe every word you've told them, Steve.
Hey. I don't care what they believe.
As far as I'm concerned, Wonder Woman's back, and...
- Steve Trevor's got her? - Don't I wish.
- Uh-oh. - Let's go.
Yup.
- How was your daughter's birthday, Joe? - Oh, fine, thanks, Diana.
She flew in from Los Angeles and we had two dozen teenagers over.
Nice of you to remember.
Bet you, uh, had a lot of fun.
Oh, yes, we did.
Good morning, Diana, Steve, Joe.
- Good morning. - Good morning, sir.
What you are seeing is, of course, Hitler's takeover of Austria in 1938
Justified by the Nazis as an Anschluss or political reunion of the Fatherland.
Followed by Munich, followed by World War II.
This is a former high-ranking intelligence officer, Fritz Gerlich,
who worked from within to undermine Austria's resistance.
Today, Gerlich is alive and active in South America,
specifically in the province of Cordova.
Cordova? Surprising.
We know of large cells of neo-Nazis in Rio, Buenos Aires.
But San Rafael, the capital of Cordova is a dusty, isolated, little community.
Exactly, Joe. Steve, you and Diana are to fly to San Rafael
to determine why Gerlich picked a dusty, isolated capital as a base
for what the Nazis are now calling "Anschluss 77."
How did we find out about Anschluss 77, sir?
A high-level CIA intercept of a message to Gerlich
just gave us the code name last night.
Anschluss.
A term out of the past, a face out of the past.
What do they mean now? How dangerous are they?
That's what you will find out.
Hmm. I thought Captain Gaitan was going to meet us here.
He probably thought the plane we were on wasn't going to make it.
I had my doubts about that too, and the bus.
Uh, why don't you relax here a second?
- Keep an eye on the luggage. - All right.
I'll see if I can find ourselves a reception committee.
Okay.
Hey. Wait a minute.
Hey!
Wonder Woman, what are you doing in South America?
I think my reasons for being here are pretty much the same as yours.
- Are you all right? - Well, yeah, except for my whole body.
I've seem to have pulled a muscle in my shoulder.
Here. Sit down.
Better?
It's perfect. How'd you do that?
Well, it's a principle that's similar to acupuncture.
Pressure applied to the nerve endings.
I learned it centuries ago from an old Chinese doctor.
Centuries ago?
He taught you well.
Who were those men?
Oh, probably a couple of thugs
working for a former Gestapo agent, Fritz Gerlich.
Who, by the way, isn't supposed to know I'm even here.
Hey, I've got to go see about Diana.
I ask for the man, and you bring me his credentials.
Then you ask me to believe that your men were defeated
and driven off by a young woman
wearing what are obviously the colors of the American flag.
Sorry, sir, but I do.
She has an amazing, almost superhuman strength.
Oddly enough, your description sounds somehow familiar.
There was such an American intelligence agent used against us.
But it's been 40 years.
I beg your pardon, sir.
Never mind. In any case,
it's now more essential than ever that I obtain complete information.
The woman he works with obviously has his trust
and is an important American agent.
Do you think you can take her without suffering further injury?
Certainly, sir.
And I assure you, Mr. Trevor, that no one,
absolutely no one except the Ministry of the Interior and myself
were aware of your arrival.
Perhaps these men were bandits out to rob you.
I doubt it. But never mind that now.
I'm sorry to mention it, Captain, but there is another possibility.
A leak? In the Ministry itself?
Well, I'll check into it.
Have you ever seen this man?
It depends upon when the photo was taken.
He'd be older. That photo was taken before World War II.
Then it is an old picture of a man I have seen.
The scar is the same.
I don't know his name,
but I have seen him rather frequently in the last few months.
It's very important that we find him as soon as possible.
Uh, he drives a white van.
And on two occasions, I've seen it parked outside Dr. Stern's house.
Dr. Stern?
Yes, he lives just outside of town,
but he's had a clinic here in San Rafael for over 20 years that I know.
Since sometime after the war?
Yes. Amazing how popular certain of our countries became
after the war.
Looks like no one's here.
- We may be too late. - Let's check around the back.
- After you. - Oh, get in.
It's ice-cold.
Dr. Stern.
It's strange. It seems like someone knew we were coming to this house. But how?
Diana, you read a little German, don't you?
- Yes. - What do you make of this?
This is a German medical treatise.
Something about cellular mutation.
Mutation?
Well, I may have mistranslated the words to mean "repetition."
Cellular repetition.
Steve, I think we should find out more about Dr. Stern.
Like what exactly?
Like how much or how little experimenting he's done
on cellular repetition, which is another word for cloning.
You mean the creating of an identical new cell from a living cell?
Yes.
Like a lizard being able to grow a new tail.
I think we should find out whether this lizard lost his tail
or grew it back.
Mm-hmm.
Let's see what else we can find out.
They also knew we were coming to San Rafael.
Diana?
Steve!
Diana!
You get Herr Gerlich.
Fritz Gerlich, I imagine?
We ask the questions. You are the one who's handcuffed.
Get back to town. And remember, at 2:00,
you must be at the airport to pick up Herr Strasser and Herr Rogel.
Yes, sir.
Now, we shall wait for Herr Gerlich.
So, Miss Prince,
you and I both know that the value of our work
lies in acquiring information.
And acquiring it while it is still useful.
My leg.
Quite sound, now.
Quite remarkable.
What you would call a miracle.
Well, precisely what is the purpose of your mission here in San Rafael?
Who led you to Dr. Stern?
I've heard a remarkable story about a young woman
who seems to be able to toss grown men about like toys.
Just what is her function in American intelligence?
As I indicated, I have very little time. Hans.
Tie her to the beam.
This is a two-minute fuse.
If you decide to cooperate, call out.
We shall return and extinguish the fuse.
If you do not, auf Wiedersehen.
Pretty girl.
