Having discovered the Baroness' hideout, Wonder Woman is surprised by the Baroness. She sprays Wonder Woman in the face with knock-out gas and Wonder Woman faints.

T : Jimmy Sangster
November 6, 1976 (1976-11-06)

Part 1: The United States Army is about to unveil its first jet fighter the XPJ-1 and the Nazis are determined to steal the plane and study it to build a jet fighter of their own. Meanwhile, Diana's younger sister Drusilla arrives from Paradise Island for a visit and gets caught up in the Nazis' plot. Kriegsmarine Captain Radl also wants to find out the source of feminum, the metal used to make Wonder Woman's bracelets. He kidnaps General Blankenship, who is taking Drusilla for a drive in Washington. Drusilla discovers that she can spin into costume like her sister and turns into Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl tries to rescue the General but Captain Radl chloroforms her.
Part 2: Peter Knight, an engineer secretly working for the Nazis, gains Drusilla's trust and tricks her into revealing the location of Paradise Island. The Kriegsmarine U-boat's crew stage an invasion and force the Amazons to mine feminum ore. Queen Hippolyta commissions Princess Diana (dressed in her Wonder Woman regalia, but addressed by her proper name and royal title) to command the Amazons' militia. Wonder Girl escapes and, as Drusilla, exposes Peter as a Nazi spy. Learning Diana has returned home, Wonder Girl also returns home to Paradise Island whereupon the two princesses engineer the capture of all of the invading Germans; the Amazons' memory-wiping technology deletes the sailors' knowledge of the island's existence before they are set adrift. Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl then return to America to prevent the theft of the XPJ-1 jet.
Guest stars: John Saxon as Captain Radl, Carolyn Jones as Queen Hippolyta, Charles Frank as Peter Knight, Paul Shenar as Lieutenant Wertz, Kurt Kreuger as Major Hemmschler, and Debra Winger as Drusilla. Notes: This was one of Debra Winger's first acting roles. This was the only episode in the entire series that shows Wonder Woman changing back into Diana Prince, although the camera was on Drusilla's reaction rather than the transformation.
66"Wonder Woman vs. Gargantua!"Charles R. RondeauDavid Ketchum & Tony DiMarcoDecember 18, 1976 (1976-12-18)
Animal behavior specialist and Nazi agent Erica Belgard abducts a super-strong gorilla named Gargantua from his African jungle home in order to recapture a defecting Nazi agent Conrad Steigler who is in American custody. Erica decides to use the gorilla's strength to defeat and capture Wonder Woman.
Guest stars: Robert Loggia as Hans Eichler, Gretchen Corbett as Erica Belgard, John Hillerman as Conrad Steigler, and Tom Reese as Carl. Notes: Wonder Woman's similarly-named adversary, Giganta, was originally a super-evolved gorilla, in Wonder Woman #9 (Summer 1944). The map of Africa used at the beginning of the episode showed the "Republic of the Congo", which was not established until 1960, 18 years after the events are supposed to have taken place; in 1942, the area shown was called the Belgian Congo, later renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
77"The Pluto File"Herb WallersteinHerbert BermannDecember 25, 1976 (1976-12-25)

Guest stars: James Olson as Wotan, Barbara Anderson as Maggie Robbins, John Howard as Dr. Diderich, and David Cryer as Hank Miller. Notes: Within the series' universe, production of the $2 ceased in 1942. Major Trevor handed YN1 Prince the last note to be archived; in the real world, production continued until halted in 1966-1976. Fans of Batman immediately recognized the prominently featured façade of the BEP (Building 61 on the Warner Brothers backlot's Embassy Courtyard), having not been re-dressed since its use as Gotham City Police headquarters.
