Now this is a weird one. First we have the acknowledgment of other characters, where Wonder Woman mentions the Justice Society of America. Second, this is sort of a continuation of the JSA story, where Wonder Woman is contacted by Queen Desira of the planet Eros.
Wonder Woman helped her out before and the Queen is in a pickle now. It seems a former prisoner named Rebla has rebelled against her rule and taken over the planet.
Yes, prisoner, as on the planet Eros all women are sentenced to prison and given everything they want until the planetary judge sentences them to their life's vocation. Rebla is sentenced to rule the Trans Mountainia instead of being a scientist, so naturally she's going to burn the system down.
With some reverse psychology in play, Rebla goes back to prison. This time it's run by the man Dominus, who whips her regularly. Rebla doesn't care for this, so she frees Wonder Woman and goes back to her regular prison.
Odd duck all around.
