Plot

Metropolis is at peace. Lois Lane researches the

exotic dancer Diana, also known as "the Blue Amazon", who appears at Dr. Psykho's Palace of Sin, the last remnant of Lutor's criminal empire. Psykho exploits the amnesiac
Diana, who was given to him by Lutor, but cannot divine her origins. When Trevor-son tries to free her, he is taken prisoner.

Meanwhile, a creature called the Cheetah has come to Metropolis looking for Diana. After a brief encounter with the Nosferatu, the Cheetah locates Diana. Psykho uses his mental powers to learn the truth. Metropolis is on a

terraformed Mars, where the survivors of mankind, led by Jon Kent, Lutor and Paula von Gunther, resettled after Earth was destroyed by pollution. Biologist Paula von Gunther later left the others and created her own artificial, flying city, known as "Heaven", where she used her knowledge of genetics and the genes of the Earth animals she saved, to create her own race of beast-like Amazons
. Diana is her perfect clone.

Later, needing new genetic stock, Paula sent Diana to Metropolis below, where she was captured and had her memories erased by Lutor. In Heaven, the Cheetah led a rebellion and killed Paula. But now, she, too, needs Diana in order to save the Amazons. Psykho makes a deal with the Cheetah: he will give her Diana if she kills the Super-Man for him.

The Cheetah leads her Amazons in a battle royale against the Super-Man, who is then assisted by the Nosferatu and

the inmates from the asylum
. When Psykho tries to kill Trevor-son, Diana's love for him is enough to restore her memories. She becomes the "Wonder-Woman", challenges the Cheetah to a duel and wins, killing her foe. Psykho is locked up in the asylum with the other inmates. Peace is restored to Metropolis; the three "worlds", the city and the two worlds above it and below it, are reunited; the truth about the past has at last been revealed.
