The Municipal Record's Building is featuring a display of English historical and mythological artifacts. The Sorcerer and Miss Dazzle suddely appear and disappear in a puff of smoke, stealing Merlin's Mirror.
Meanwhile, Lori and Judy are pawing over a gift, the priceless Berni Clock. But infront of their eyes it disappears. They immediately electachange. Frank is on top of everything, realizing that the vanishing of the clock corresponded to a space-time disturbance. Suddenly the Sorcerer appears on Crimescope's screen, announcing his plan to steal the Ancient Crown Jewels of England. Frank informs the girls that they will need his latest electracomp attachment.
We see the Sorcerer at his hideout walk into Merlin's mirror. Then, ElectraWoman and DynaGirl arrive at the exhibit, only to see the Crown jewels disappear before their very eyes. Meanwhile, the Sorcerer has reappeared from the mirror, giving all the jewels for Miss Dazzle to hold as he laughs about his latest trap. A note appears for our heroines, who read it, and suddenly find themselves sonically assaulted by a giant hand clapping.
Frank talks the ladies through the Sorcerer's latest illusion. They immediately pursue the Sorcerer to his hideout. But where Crimescope indicates that there is a house, the heroines see an empty lot. Sensorscan shows them that the Sorcerer has cloaked the house. Directascan leads them into the front door.
They confront the villain as he convinces them that he is going to share with them the secret of his magic acts. He then walks into the mirror, as the heroines watch in stunned disbelief. The brave superheroines follow, dispite Frank's warnings of the danger. They discover a totally different dimension. Crimescope tells Frank that they no longer exist. The Sorcerer darts around, stepping out of the mirror, and closes the exit, trapping ElectraWoman and DynaGirl in a dimension that crimescope indicates does not exist.
Part 2
The saddistic Sorcerer taunts Frank, unwittingly giving him clues as to the Voltage Vixens' whereabouts. Then the villain returns into the mirror, . ElectraWoman and DynaGirl follow the Sorcerer. They step into the Renaissance and meet the Leonardo Di Vinci, just finishing up the Mona Lisa. Fortunately he speaks English. The Sorcerer steals the painting, and returns into the portal. Just then, Frank configures Crimescope to send a signal into the space-time disturbance, reaching our heroines. Leonardo's eyes almost pop out as the electracomps speak. The ladie return to the portal, and pursue the Sorcerer.
Miss Dazzle decides to enter the mirror, as she follows cues from her boss. The heroines catch view of them, and use their electrabeams to retrieve the painting. The Sorcerer steps out of the mirror with his assistant, and spins the mirror, creating a dimensional storm. But thanks to directascan, the ladies find the mirror. Then the Sorcerer decides to destroy the mirror. In a dramatic showdown, ElectraWoman uses her electrabeam to try and stop him,but to no avail. The mirror is destroyed, trapping our heroines in the dimension forever.
But Frank has worked out a time-space equation, although he doesn't know if it will work. Our brave women say let'er rip, and suddenly the dimension appears in ElectraBase. They return to the hideout, surprizing the Sorcerer, as DynaGirl fires the ElectraForceshield at Miss Dazzle, and ElectraWoman causes the Sorcerer to fall through the floor with their new electradevice, the ElectraG.
When our superheroines fight 'the clap'.
Frank's sweaty brow.
When ElectraWoman tells DynaGirl "Mine alone. We can't afford to share the electrapower." Adam West couldn't have said that one better.

When Frank gives them the ElectraG's attachment.
They may have returned the Mona Lisa to Leonardo. I don't remember.
Miss Dazzle almost drops the crown jewels
Judy Strangis is looking somewhere else as ElectraWoman reads her the note.
The outdoor shot in Part 1 features a pedestrian and cars behind the trees.
At the end of Part 1, Deidre and Judy break a second too soon. Hello Miller, try directing!
In the last scene the script indicates that DynaGirl ElectraForceshields Miss Dazzle, but the special effects have both heroines zapping the Socerer. Miss Dazzle appears to be frozen as she says her lines.
Despite all the mistakes, perhaps the most of any show, this is a very satisfying episode.
Our heriones are strong, saying everyline with charm.
The Sorcerer may not be a threatening villain, but Constance is very funny.
Miss Dazzle is also wonderful. Watch for her great scenes as she works on hand motions as the Sorcerer returns with the crown jewels, and when she smiles after stepping stage left before being corrected. Was she an ElectraWoman alternate?
The story: It was a departure for the series, evoking past episodes of Star Trek and the Twilight Zone. The time continuum problem of creating a modern day crime by stealing something in the past would count as a fault, if only this mistake in time logic hadn't appeared in the movie Freaquency or Godzilla Vs. King Gidora.
The shots: This episode drives home the point that we want as little time in an episode with Lori and Judy as possible. They are on screen all of 30 seconds in the whole piece. As for a shapely heroines, for the first time, Miller has used very some stunning shots of our sexy superheroines.
This is the most televised of ElectraWoman and DynaGirl's episodes in the past years, having been broadcast 6 times if you include the TVLand showing in the 90's. Some critics love the episode. But I have read reviews where people can't get into all the plot events that are just so unbelievable. I mean, Deidre Hall wanting to give that extremely valuable Berni clock back. I just couldn't believe that one.
ElectraWoman's Big Hair rating: 10 split hair - It doesn't get any better.
DynaGirl's Perky Rating: 7 out of 10 Pig Tail bounces.
Overall show rating: 4th of the 8 complete episodes.
