Princess Diana (Lynda Carter) volunteers to return Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) to Washington, D.C. after he crashes his airplane on Paradise Island and remained in coma. Upon arriving in Washington D.C., she establishes the secret identity of Diana Prince and begins working for Steve Trevor. This movie, and the First Season, are set in World War II.

Steve is being framed for several incidents of sabotage. He suspects Baroness Paula von Gunther (Christine Belford) an imprisoned Nazi spy. The warden's son Tommy, an avid fan of detective fiction, assists Wonder Woman. Having discovered the Baroness' hideout, Wonder Woman is surprised by the Baroness. She hits Wonder Woman in the face with knock-out gas and Wonder Woman faints. Later she recovers and after a struggle brings the Baroness to justice. Notes: This episode is based on a plot from a 1942 comic book, in which the warden's son was fascinated with cowboys, the golden lasso, and vice detective stories.[citation needed] Baroness von Gunther is one of the series' few adversaries of Wonder Woman who originated in the comic books. | ||||||
| 2 | 2 | 'Fausta: The Nazi Wonder Woman' | Barry Crane | Bruce Shelley, David Ketchum | April 28, 1976 | |
Fausta Grables (Lynda Day George) lures Wonder Woman into a trap. Wonder Woman falls through a false floor where one of Fausta's gang overpowers her with chloroform causing Wonder Woman to faint. The unconscious Wonder Woman is then kidnapped and taken to Germany for study. Steve launches a mission to rescue her but is captured himself shortly after Wonder Woman orchestrates her own escape. Wonder Woman returns to Germany to rescue Steve and convince Fausta to abandon the Nazi cause. Notes: Fausta Grables first appeared in Comic Cavalcade #2 Spring 1943 issue in a story entitled 'Wanted by Hitler, Dead or Alive'.[2] This episode marks the re-introduction of the red-white-and-blue, star-spangled cape that Wonder Woman adopts throughout the series for formal occasions; it and the miniskirt had been seen when issued to her by Queen Hippolyta in the pilot movie. This is also the only time Wonder Woman wears a mask which is golden. | ||||||
| 3 | 3 | 'Beauty on Parade' | Richard Kinon | Ron Friedman | October 13, 1976 | |
Diana enters a beauty contest to expose a sabotage ring of radar scanning equipment, which is led by the pageant's musical director. Guest stars:Anne Francis and Dick Van Patten. Note: This episode introduces the famous 'thunderclap' transformation sequence. | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 'The Feminum Mystique: Part 1' | Herb Wallerstein | Story : Barbara Avedon, Barbara Corday Teleplay : Jimmy Sangster | November 6, 1976 | |
The United States Army is about to unveil its first jet fighter 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 (Debra Winger) arrives from Paradise Island for a visit and gets caught up in the Nazis' plot. Kriegsmarine Captain Radl (John Saxon) 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. Note: this was one of Debra Winger's first acting roles. Also guest stars Carolyn Jones as Queen Hippolyta, although she is never referred to by name. 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. | ||||||
| 5 | 5 | 'The Feminum Mystique: Part 2' | Herb Wallerstein | Story : Barbara Avedon, Barbara Corday Teleplay : Jimmy Sangster | November 8, 1976 | |
| 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 as Wonder Woman in full costume, but addressed by her proper name and 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 jet. Guest starring Carolyn Jones as Queen Hippolyta. | ||||||
| 6 | 6 | 'Wonder Woman vs. Gargantua' | Charles R. Rondeau | David Ketchum, Tony DiMarco | December 18, 1976 | |

Erica decides to use the gorilla's strength to defeat and capture Wonder Woman. Also guest stars Robert Loggia as Hans Eichler. Note: 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. | ||||||
| 7 | 7 | 'The Pluto File' | Herb Wallerstein | Herbert Bermann | December 25, 1976 | |

Guest starring Barbara Anderson. Notes: Within the series' universe, production of the $2 ceased in 1942, Major Trevor handing YN1 Prince the final note to be filed; in the real world, production continued until halted in 1966-1976. Fans of Batman will immediately recognise the prominently featured back-lot façade of the BEP as Gotham City Police headquarters. | ||||||

| An alien named Andros (Tim O'Connor) arrives on Earth to study it and to convince the intergalactic council that the planet should not be destroyed because of World War II. The American government first suspects Andros of being a Nazi spy and the Nazis want to use Andros's powers for world domination. Wonder Woman and Andros must work together to prove America's intentions are peaceful, as Andros at first is not sure if either side is right (mentioning the internment of 'Americans of Japanese descent' in reply to Wonder Woman's charges against the Nazi racial policies). While exploring the Library of Congress, Andros is stripped of his powers and captured by the Nazis. Wonder Woman tries to save him but faints after being hit by gas. The intergalactic council decrees that if he is killed the Earth will be destroyed. | ||||||

A Nazi agent who is secretly involved with the scientist's assistant directs his henchmen to kidnap both the scientist's daughter (to obtain the formula) and Steve (to take him back to Germany for interrogation). Diana, witnessing the abduction, spins into costume and tries to intervene, only to be chloroformed by the Nazis. She awakens tied up in a room with Steve. Wonder Woman and Steve break free to find the girl before the agent takes the formula back to Germany. | ||||||
