Things took an interesting turn in Sensation Comics 8 with Wonder Woman
indulging in a little kidnapping and brainwashing of her own. Of course it
was done solely with the best of intentions.
Appalled by the conditions of the shop girls working at Bullfinch's
Department Store Wonder Woman decided to drop in on the owner, Gloria
Bullfinch.
Meanwhile Wonder Woman investigated Steve Trevor's disappearance. While
not a military matter he had got caught up in this by asking Diana Prince on a
date. Gangsters looking to do something about the nosy Diana (who had been
poking around) before she discovered their plans to loot and destroy the store
while blaming it on disgruntled employees. Steve drove them off but vanished
when he tried to tail them and Diana blamed herself for getting him involved.
So Wonder Woman looked around and ran into a very suspicious looking girl.
Certainly she was suspicious enough to distract Diana's attention.
It turned out the mastermind behind the scheme was Gloria Bullfinch's
fiancee. Of course it all ended happily. Gloria snapped back to normal and
after her experience improved working conditions for her employees. First
taking a few moments to punch out her now ex-fiancee. Fortunately for Wonder
Woman she didn't bear a grudge because of the brainwashing which just goes to
show people used to be a lot more forgiving and less likely to litigate.
At least in the funny pages.
