Wonder Woman vs. Gargantua
Sep 1942, Nazi agents are sent to the United States to recover Conrad Steigler, a German doctor who was in the process of defecting. The Nazi agents (Hans Eichler, Erica Belgard, Carl) use Gargantua, a gorilla that Erica has trained to follow her commands, to help them kidnap Steigler and set a trap for Wonder Woman.
The Nazis agents capture Steigler but Wonder Woman convinces the gorilla that she is its friend. The Nazi agent escape with Steigler. Wonder Woman turns the gorilla over to Dr. Osmond who helps to undue what Erica did to it.
Erica and Hans come looking for Gargantua. They find it in Dr. Osmond's laboratory. They program it once again to follow their commands and use it once again to set a trap for Wonder Woman. She defeats the Nazi agents but this time they do not escape. The episode ends with Wonder Woman returning the creature to Africa.
Steve Trevor, General Blankenship, and Etta Candy are also in this episode. Steve does not get captured in this episode.
John Hillerman played the part of Conrad Steigler. I know him best from Magnum, P.I. where he played Higgins.
Robert Loggia played the park of Hans Eichler. I know him best from Mancuso, FBI and Necessary Roughness (1991) but he also showed up in a few episodes of The Sopranos and made guest appearances on lots of other TV shows.
Gretchen Corbett played the part of Erica Belgard. I didn't recognize her but she played a recurring character on the Rockford Files, appearing in 33 episodes across all four seasons of that show and some of the TV movies.
This was kind of goofy, as are most episodes in this series. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't call it great.
