Wonder Woman: "Draska the Deadly"
Col. Darnell orders Steve Trevor to attend a masquerade and try to seduce and steal a list of US operatives from a enemy agent Draska Nishki, even though Draska is already aware of Steve's identity and requested his presence from Darnell. Steve is uneasy, as is Diana, but he carries out his orders anyway. Diana requests the Holliday Girls help out by attending to have more eyes on the scene, and switches costumes with Betty, who looks nearly identical to her so long as they have on masks which hide their eyebrows, eyes and bridge of their noses. As expected the masquerade is a trap, but the criminals catch Steve and Betty leaving Wonder Woman free to rescue both of them and get the list while Draska thinks she has Wonder Woman in a death trap. | Appearing1 = **Featured Characters:** * Wonder Woman) **Supporting Characters:** * Col.
