The Last of the Two Dollar Bills
Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor cross paths in Washington, DC with Wotan, Germany's top spy, as he is preparing to steal the plates for the two dollar bill, from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Wotan brings two other spies with him who are disguised as Hank, a federal employee, and Maggie, his girlfriend who runs a café across the street from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
Thoughts
Maggie was played by Barbara Anderson. She doesn't have a very long list of screen credits according to IMDb but I have seen her in two other things in the past 13 months: The first Six Million Dollar Man TV movie and an episode of Star Trek (1966) (1.13 - The Conscience of the King).
Does Wotan have super powers? It seemed for a second there like he does but there is no mention made of it. It's kind of like it was written into the script but then pulled at the last second. They filmed moments that made it look like he had some sort of hypnotic ability but then he doesn't really do much with it and it is only manifested when he encounters Wonder Woman and he doesn't hypnotize her.
This one was a little silly but it holds together if you can overlook some of the silliness. I don't, for instance, understand how it was that Wonder Woman remained imprisoned as long as she did after she was captured by Wotan.
