Princess VS princess this time out. The main story is Wonder Woman investigating a spy ring and what appears to be a talking lion. It turns out the lion has a radio in its stomach, which in turn the Nazis use to relay information to their agents.
Yasmini is an interesting character for a one off appearance. She's clearly identified as a Hindu (a rarity in those days), and her story ends with her taking poison rather than betray her fellow spies. She could have been an interesting rouge, given that most of Wonder Woman's foes were either Nazis in suits or the occasional costume villain.
