Description
The Black Fox, an aging jewel thief, is on his last caper to subsidize his retirement but the Red Ghost and his Super-Apes capture him. Meanwhile, Peter washes his costume and heads to bed. The costume oozes onto him as he sleeps. At his hideout, the Ghost orders the Fox to secure funds for his cosmicizer, a cosmic power-increasing device or die. Later, Mamie Muggins, seeking rent, pounds on Pete's door and he discovers he's been asleep for an entire day. He calls Aunt May but Nathan hangs up on him. As Pete goes webslinging, the Fox leads the Apes to a jewelry store. Lacking finesse, the Apes set off alarms, attracting the police. Using a flash grenade, the Fox eludes the police but runs into Spidey, who saves him from the arriving Apes. After the Apes flee, the Fox tells Spidey everything. Spidey trails the Apes, leaving their dropped bag of jewels at the Fox's feet. At the Ghost's lair, Spidey battles the Apes, destroying the cosmicizer in the process. Tipped by the Fox, the police arrive and the Ghost retreats, vowing vengeance on Spidey. Elsewhere, Hobgoblin waits in a warehouse with his battle van, hoping to ambush the wall-crawler. When Spidey doesn't show, Hobby destroys the planted spider-tracer and moves on with his plans.
