Doctor Lightning (played by Robert M. Rosen) was driven insane when his face was disfigured in an electrical explosion. His daughter (played by Donna Shannon) has given important information about her father to Randy (played by Rick Mitchell) of the Daily Bugle newspaper. the doctor sends his henchman Revov (played by Jim Harmon) to bring back his daughter, and carrying out the orders, shoots Randy. Spider-man (played by Don Glut) obtains from the wounded Randy all that has transpired; and then swiftly swings off to the doctor's hideout in the caverns. He encounters Rekov, with the pair fighting. Accidently, Rekov is killed from a blast of the doctor's lightning gun. While protecting the doctor's daughter, Spider-man is also shot by the doctor's lightning gun. This allows the doctor to speed away in his car. Spider-man's spider strength has saved him from death. He swings after the doctor. Spider-man is able to grab the car with a spider-web lasso, raising it off the ground. The doctor, rather than being taken alive, zaps his own car, blowing himself up.
