A new nuclear reactor has been built in the heart of Manhattan, and Peter Parker's science class is researching it. Peter is asked by his attractive classmate, Sonya, to help her that night with research about the reactor. As Spidey is making his way to Sonya's home, trouble is brewing. A demented radiation specialist breaks into the new reactor and threatens the city with ransom; unless he is paid $10 million, given amnesty from prosecution, and given permission to build his own reactor, he will use anti-gravity rays on Manhattan to lift it into the sky. When his demands are refused, he does exactly that, and makes a ransom demand of $100-million, along with the other conditions, and unless his demands are met he will deactivate the ray & send Manhattan plummeting back to earth. Spidey must abort his date with Sonya & tunnel into the reactor to stop the madman. The specialist, who has speculated Spidey's powers came from radiation, tries to neutralize them by subjecting Spidey to anti-radiation. Unfortunately for him, Spidey resists the anti-radiation by force of will & kicks the specialist in the face. The stunned specialist fires his gun at Spidey, but misses, and the ray from the gun hits the controls sustaining the anti-gravity ray. As Manhattan starts to drop like a stone, Spidey must neutralize the psychotic specialist quickly...

A demented movie producer named Clive has created a device called the Spirit-Scope, which he uses to set his darkest creation, called Blotto - a black, blob-like creature - loose from the screen. Blotto is released into Manhattan's streets, extending a dark tentacle over anything and when the tentacle retracts, the object is gone. Nothing is too small, or big, for him to consume - cars, lamp posts, mailboxes, even buildings. Peter is out driving with a celebrity when his car runs out of gas, just as Blotto moves in. As Blotto eats his car, Peter sprays a web to a nearby building & lifts the celebrity to safety. When the fire department tries to stop Blotto, the water passes right through him & he attacks their vehicles. Spidey soon discovers that Clive is the source of the problem, and tracks him down. Clive tries to use the Spirit-Scope on Spidey, but misses & hits his friend Collin, who had been about to swing a wrench at Spidey. Spidey swings down & kicks Clive in the head, but the stunned producer threatens to throw the master control switch that will kill the power in the city. Spidey drops down to confront Clive again, who aims the Spirit-Scope at him. Clive thinks he has Spidey after the web-slinger does not move, but Spidey suddenly comes to life as Clive gets a bit too close and is punched in the face, knocking him out. Spidey takes the Spirit-Scope and heads into the streets after Blotto, thinking if the device brought him to life, it can kill him, too. As the black menace rears up, Spidey fires the Spirit-Scope, which hits Blotto head-on and turns him into a mountain of paper. Clive is jailed, and New York starts to rebuild.
