Synopsis for Chapter 8: ”Johnny Thunder”
Johnny Thunder goes to the mansion of Oscar K. Doodle to wring a confession out of him for selling supplies of inadequate cement. While there, he runs afoul of Professor Elba, who captures him. At Elba’s laboratory, Johnny stubbornly does not want to summon his Thunderbolt for help, believing he can solve the case himself. But accidentally, Johnny says the magic words anyway, and the Thunderbolt brings the JSA to his rescue. Dr. Mid-Nite is brought to the lab as well, and follows Elba into a darkened room, where they briefly fight. Professor Elba attacks Oscar Doodle with his serum, but Dr. Mid-Nite deflects the evil scientist’s blow. The needle jabs itself into Elba’s own arm, and he falls backwards out an upstairs window to his doom
Synopsis for Wonder Woman: ”Introducing Wonder Woman”
U.S. Army Intelligence pilot Steve Trevor flies his fighter across the Atlantic in search of a Nazi spy. His jet runs out of fuel and he crashes lands on Paradise Island. Two Amazons, Diana and Mala recover him and bring him to their hospital. Diana spends several days nursing his wounds and slowly begins to fall in love with him. Her mother, Queen Hippolyta reminds the Amazon that men are forbidden to set foot on Paradise Island, much less remain there. She declares that as soon as Trevor is fit for travel, he is to be returned to the United States.
During Steve’s convalescence, Hippolyta and Diana uses the Magic Sphere to divine the nature of Steve’s arrival on the island. They look into the past and learn of Trevor’s secret mission.
Two Nazi agents named Von Storm and Fritz hijacked an experimental robot plane and attempted to bomb an army airfield. Trevor heroically took control of the plane and drove the Nazis away. He was in pursuit of Fritz’ fighter across the ocean, when he crashed on the Island.
Hippolyta decrees that an Amazon agent should be sent to the United States to aid the American in their fight against the Nazis. She holds a great tournament to determine which of her warriors should act as their goodwill ambassador. Diana wants to participate in the tournament, but Hippolyta forbids it.
Diana disguises herself with a simple mask and enters the tournament anyway. She masters every competition and becomes one of two finalists to compete in the Bullets and Bracelets competition. Diana defeats her opponent, Mala, and reveals her true identity to the crowd. Hippolyta agrees to allow Diana to travel to the United States. She provides her with a patriotic costume and bestows upon her the name of Wonder Woman.
