Synopsis

A departing jet liner is forced into a steep climb to avoid a bizarre aircraft, one that arrived through a rift in the sky. The rapid ascension causes the jet liner's engines to stall. Fortunately, Wonder Woman is on hand. From the wing of her invisible jet, Wonder Woman casts her magic lasso around the nose of the jet liner. Wonder Woman pulls the plane out of it's dive. With the jet liner saved, Wonder Woman goes after the strange aircraft that instigated the crisis. Wonder Woman is surprised to find the aircraft marked with the Nazi Swastika.The pilot, though, seems even more surprised to see Wonder Woman still alive. Exiting the cockpit, the Red Panzer unleashes a hail of gunfire from his fingertips. Wonder Woman deflects the assault with her Amazon bracelets. The two combatants are so focused in their conflict that neither notice the strange energy beam that envelops the aircraft. Drawn back through the rift, Wonder Woman is surprised to see Washington D.C. below them, instead of New York.
