DC Comics Presents, Vol. 1

"The Terrible Tinseltown Treasure-Trap Treachery!": Superman must briefly team with the Joker to find the whereabouts of a comedian-cum-crime boss's hidden hoard, which the Prankster is also seeking.

"A Bold New Direction for... Wonder Woman": Steve Trevor is injured during a battle he and Wonder Woman have with a gang of Russian spies. While he and Wonder Woman are waiting for an ambulance, she is approached by three representatives of the Wonder Woman Foundation, a new group dedicated to promoting equality for women, and is asked to wear a new halter with two W's on its crest, rather than an eagle. She asks to talk it over with her mother, and, once Steve is safely taken away in an ambulance, she goes to Paradise Island. There she discovers that Hercules, still smarting from his defeat many years ago at Hippolyta's hands, has enlisted Hermes to steal the Queen's magic girdle and has chained her and all the Amazons, removing their power. Wonder Woman challenges each of them to a contest, with her willing surrender the prize if they win. She outraces Hermes to regain the magic girdle, and she defeats Hercules in a test of strength. The two gods vanish back to Olympus, and the Amazons' chains vanish with them. Hippolyte, when consulted, advises Wonder Woman to try the new halter for a time. In Washington, D.C., though, doctors working on Steve Trevor learn that Steve is dying.
