While a Wonder Woman story, here is where Paula Von Gunther really shines as a member of the supporting cast. Mae Wu, a peasant girl, meets Wonder Woman after being whipped by Japanese troops. She wishes the scars removed, but is killed.
She's only mostly dead though, as Wonder Woman spirits her back to Paradise Island. Paula, using the Purple Ray, brings the dead girl back to life. Heading back to China, they learn the scars are a code to Japanese spies in America to help unleash their ultimate plan to destroy America.
How? Gnats
Yup, poisoned gnats designed to drive women crazy and attack all men. Wonder Woman and Paula step in at the last moment and prevent this.
