There is a new girl with her and as introductions happen, including to Steve, a monster appears that only Diana can see. She leaps at it and knocks the new girl, “nifty” over. She’s upset but Steve covers telling her Diana saw the ghost of a spy. Diana says it must have been a spot on her glasses and takes them off to clean them. Etta looks at her and tells her how much she looks like Wonder Woman without her glasses. She brushes the comment off and takes her leave. Steve and Etta are concerned about Diana but Nifty is still upset. The weird ghost seems to take over Nifty. At headquarters, Diana tells Darnell about the professor’s breakthrough. He then gets a call that all the supplies for the professor have been hijacked. Before the plane disappeared the pilot called in about planes with skulls and crossbones closing in on it. Elsewhere, Nifty sneaks away and is uncovering a hidden aircraft. Etta and the girls take bats to help guard Chemico’s lab along with Steve’s men. The air pirates led by Nifty begin to attack.

Meanwhile, the pirates have arrived at their hideout and enter it. The leader is angry she brought hostages. She tells them something made her do it. He orders them killed, all but the professor. The professor won’t tell him about the atomic power and he tortures him. Wonder Woman arrives at the location. She’s confused, it’s just a big rock sticking up. She breaks it off to find that it’s not a rock but a door. Wonder Woman arrives just in time to save the professor. The pirates try to get away with their hostages, but Wonder stops them. From the plane, the leader tries to shoot Wonder Woman, but Steve stops him. Everyone is now safe, but Wonder Woman still sees the weird monster.
