01x34 - Fiddler on the Loose

[bunniefuu]

[Upbeat Music Playing]

[Spider-Man Reading]

Ha Ha. Old Flintridge May Be Eccentric,

But He's A Real Swinger.

I Gotta See
Jameson's Reaction

To This Private Preview.

Groovy, Man. Groovy.

Right, Jameson?

Great. Just Great.

A Swinger Jameson Is Not.

[Laughs] I Wouldn't Have Missed This For Anything.

[Plays Violin Note]

What's Going On
Here?

I Thought It Was Part Of The Show!

That Was No Ordinary Sonic Blast.

It Was Aimed.

And Here Comes Another One!

[German Accent] And That, Cyrus Flintridge,

Is Only The Beginning.

Picking Off Those Instruments One By One

Was No Coincidence.

Flintridge And His Music-Muddlers

Were Somebody's Target For Tonight,

And I'd Like To Know Who.

Old Spider-Sense Tells Me I'm Getting Warm.

So, Spider-Man
Seeks To Find

The Source
Of My Sonic Beams.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Well, I'll Give Him
A Clue.

[Plays Note]

Here We Go Again.

An Agile Adversary.

But Now I Play
For Real!

Here Comes A Whopper!

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

That Should Take Care Of Spider-Man.

I'm Positive
It Came From Here.

Empty!

Not A Scrap Of...

Paper.

Beethoven's Fifth?

"From Bop To Beethoven".

There's Got To Be
A Connection.

[Slow Music Playing]

Flintridge--
He's Responsible

For This Abominable Rock 'N' Roll Boom.

If His Money Can Buy The Ears Of The Public,

Then I Shall
Even The Fight.

He Will Pay Me Dearly,

And I Will Build A Conservatory

And Restore The True Beauty Of Classical Music

To The World!

And Should He Refuse...

I Tell You, Jameson,

This Fiend
Has Gone Too Far.

Not Only
Does He Admit

Causing
The Sonic Blasts,

Now He's
Blackmailing Me.

He Wants Me
To Leave $100,000

In A Violin Case

At The Foot Of Beethoven's Statue.

"If You Call The Police, I Will Dispose Of Them

"As Easily As I Disposed

Of Your So-Called Instruments Last Night."

I Refuse To Pay
One Penny

To That
Sonic Swindler.

Don't Get So Steamed Up, Flintridge.

I Think I Know A Way To Trap Him.

Miss Brant.

Yes, Mr. Jameson?

Get Parker
On The Phone.

I Have A Job
For Him.

Central Park? Tonight?

At Beethoven's Statue.

Will Do, Mr. Jameson.

So, Old J.J.
Wants Peter Parker

To Spring The Trap.

I Have A Feeling That Before The Night Is Over,

It'll Be A Job
For Spider-Man.

Concert's Over.

Maybe Now We'll See Some Action.

There Go My Spider-Senses. This Must Be It.

[Snaps Picture]

What Is This?

The Violin Case--Gone!

When That Blockbustin' Blackmailer

Finds Out The Case Is Empty, He'll Be After Flintridge,

And Spider-Man Had Better Get There First.

[Bongos Playing]

Spider-Man: Everything Seems Ok.

But My Spider-Senses Are Signaling Danger.

This Time I Will Play A Concerto

That Double-Crossing
Flintridge

Will Never Forget!

I Feel It--
A Sonic Wave.

My Hi-Fi! No!

No, Stop! My Records!

Stop!

He Can't Have Gone Far.

I'll Bet My Webs He Comes Out Into That Alley.

Right On Cue!

He's Here Somewhere. I Can Feel It.

Unless He Can Fly, I've Got Him Trapped.

[Clanging]

[Dramatic Music Playing]

I Sure Flubbed It This Time.

The Fiddler's Still On The Loose And After Flintridge.

I've Got A Feeling There's More To This Than Blackmail.

My Priceless Collection Of Modern Music--

Destroyed. Deliberately Demolished.

Terrible, Terrible!

But At Least He Didn't Get The Money.

That's Right.

So Now He's Upped His Demands To $500,000

So He Can Build A Conservatory Of His Own.

[Gulp]
Did You Say 5?

If I Don't Bring It
In Person

To My Conservatory
Tonight,

He Threatens To Reduce It To Rubble.

Jameson,
What'll I Do?

Now, Let's Not Panic. Parker'll Be Here Shortly

With The Pictures Of The Culprit.

Parker,
You Got The Pictures?

Well, Yes And No.

Why Can't
You Teenagers

Ever Give
A Straight Answer?

Did You Get
A Picture

Of The Blackmailer?

Yes, But--

But What?!

The Fiddler Blasted
The Camera

Right Out Of My Hand.

Fiddler?

Peter: That's Right, Mr. Flintridge.

A Fiddler With A Deadly Sonic Violin.

And He's After You.

What Am I Going
To Do, J.J.?

Jameson:
If I Were You,

I'd Be At The Conservatory Tonight

With The Money!

[Thinking]
Thanks, J.J.

That's Just What I Hoped You'd Say.

Who--Who's There?

Just Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

You-You're
The Fiddler?

Hand Me The Satchel, Flintridge,

And Then Get Lost,

Or You May Wind Up Playing A Harp.

Jameson Was Right-- You Are A Crook.

Well, You Won't Get Away With This.

He's Left
The Satchel Inside

As I Instructed.

If He Tricked Me Again,

I'll Keep My Promise.

Flintridge Is Bound To Go For The Police.

If I Can Just Stall That Vindictive Virtuoso...

Something Tells Me It's Time To Face The Music.

Spider-Man:
Hold It, Fiddler!

There's
A String Attached!

So Much For Your Web, Spider-Man!

Give Me The Money!

Come And Get It,
Maestro.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

I Also Hit
The High Notes!

[Siren Blaring]

Can't You Go A Little Faster, Officer?

Not Without
A Pilot's License,

Mr. Flintridge.

Fiddler: Why Don't You Give Up

And Save Yourself?

I Can't Hear You, Fiddler, Over Those Sirens.

You Can't Do This To Me! Let Me Go!

It Seems To Me

I've Heard
That Song Before.

[Tires Screech]

Where's Spider-Man?

He's Been Here.

There's His
Calling Card.

"The Villainous Violinist--

Captured By Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man."

By George, That Parker Boy Was Right.

He Is A Fiddler.
Name's Otto.

Used To Play
Second Fiddle

With The Symphony
Orchestra.

How Would You Know About Good Music?

You And Your Rock 'N Roll Rabble?

My Dear Fellow,

I Also Sponsor The Symphony Orchestra.

Put This On The Record Player, Miss Brant.

It's A Present From Flintridge...

Called Symphony For A Summer Night.

That's My Kind Of Music!

[Rock 'N' Roll Playing]

No!

Miss Brant,
Turn That Off!

I Thought
It Said "Symphony"!

It Does,
Mr. Jameson.

But You Didn't Read The Small Print.

It Says,
"A Sonic Symphony

For The World
Of Tomorrow."

No!
