[Music Playing]

And So, For This Singular Contribution

To The Science Of Astro Wave Projection,

We Take Great Pleasure In Bestowing The Curie Award

To Dr. Irving Caldwell.

[Applause]

You Must
Be Very Proud

Of Your Father
Tonight, Jan.

I'm Always Proud Of Him.

[Electricity Surging]

[Dramatic Music Playing]

Dad!

What A Shame.

Smells Like
A Plot.

Yes. The Police
Are Baffled.

They Don't Have A Clue As To What Could've Happened

To Make Caldwell
Disappear.

A Flash Of Light And Then...Nothing.

Yes, I'd Sure Hate To Have The Responsibility

For Solving This One.

Who Do You Think You Are--Spider-Man?

Really, Susan.

Can't I Ever Keep Anything From You?

Hey, You. Watch Where You're Going.

Peter,
That's Jan Caldwell.

Oh, The Scientist's Son.

Sure. I Guess He's Got A Lot On His Mind.

Yes. He Doesn't Know If His Father's Alive Or--

Poor Kid. He Looks So All Alone.

Narrator: All Alone Now,

It Appears The One Person In This Great City

Who Young Caldwell Can Turn To

Is His Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Or Is He?

Well, On That
Very Afternoon,

As Jan Returns Home From School

To The Secluded Suburban Laboratory Estate

Where He And His Father Lived,

Young Caldwell Is About To Make A Discovery

Which Will Forever Alter The Course Of His Life.

Meanwhile, On The Caldwell Case,

Police And F.B.I.
Officials

Are Able To Turn No Clue

To The Missing Scientist's Whereabouts.

But Official Speculation Now Indicates

That The Strange
Disappearance

Is Somehow Linked

To Caldwell's Famed Astro-Helmet,

His Closely-Guarded
Invention,

Which Has Likewise Now Strangely Disappeared.

Police Efforts To Uncover The Astro-Helmet

Have Also
Proved Futile.

The Whereabouts Of The Plans And The Model

Were Apparently Known To No One But Caldwell.

[Turns Off Tv]

The Astro-Helmet...

Dad Would Never Reveal Its Hiding Place.

So If This Is What's Behind Dad's Disappearance,

Maybe It's Up To Me To Use The Astro-Helmet As Bait.

Luckily, Dad Showed Me How To Use His Invention.

First, This Insulated Suit

And The Control Belt.

Then The Astro-Helmet, And I'm Ready To Go.

Here Goes.

[Buzzing]

Now...If I Can Just
Remember

How To Use
The Flying Controls.

If The Police
Can't Find Dad,

I Guess It's Up To Me.

Narrator: A Short Time After Jan Dons His Astro-Costume

And Flying Helmet,

Peter Parker Also Changed Into His Costume.

Now, As The Amazing Spider-Man,

He Prowls Above The City Streets,

Ever On The Alert For Criminal Activity.

But Spider-Man Is About To Have

The Surprise Of His Life.

Watch.

h* Hum.
Nothing Doing Tonight.

Guess I Can Safely Turn Back

And Do Some Homework For A Change.

Hey! What's That?

Holy Flying Catfish!

Another Superhero!

Or I'm An Hallucinatin' Webhead.

Golly, Got To Look Into This, And Fast.

[Dramatic Music Playing]

Uh-Oh. Spider-Man.

Great Gollywockles!

He Can Really Fly!

I Wonder Who He Is.

Don't Recognize That Costume At All.

Hey, You.
What's The Big Idea,

Butting In
On My Territory?

He Sure Sounds Mad.

I'd Better
Get Outta Here.

Hey, Fly-Boy, Come On Back Here!

Narrator: As The Two Costumed Aerialists Engage,

They Have An Unexpected Audience.

It's Jerry Muldoon Of The Evening Star--

Peter's Photographer Rival

On The City's Other Big Newspaper.

Wow, What A Scoop!

2 Superheroes In A Flying Dogfight.

Wonder Who The New Guy In The Red Tights Is.

Looks Like A Kid.

Well, Here Goes.
Bet I Scoop

That Nosy No-Goodnik Peter Parker This Time.

[Music Playing]

Look At That!

The Biggest Story
Of The Year,

And We're Scooped By The Evening Star!

Well, Parker,

What Have You Got To Say For Yourself?

Any Excuse?

Golly, Mr. Jameson,
I--Well--

Gee Whiz.

I Thought So.

Goofing Off Again.

I Just Don't Know,
Parker.

Why Do I Keep You On My Payroll?

Well, I--
Enough!

Get Out There
And Get A Picture

Of This Mysterious New Superhero

Battling Spider-Man,

And Don't Let Me See Your Face Again

Until You Do!
Now Get Out!

Golly, What A Pickle.

How Can I Get A Picture Of Spider-Man

Tangling With Sky-Boy

When I'm Spider-Man?

Ohh, Why Does Everything Have To Happen To Me?

Narrator:
While Peter Parker

Is Getting Balled Out By Jonah Jameson,

Other Eyes Are Studying Jerry Muldoon's Big Scoop--

The Picture Of The Year.

In A Secret Cavern Headquarters

Atop Lightning Mountain,

A Sinister Criminal Mastermind

Studies The Photograph

Of Spider-Man And Sky-Boy Intently.

Well, How Strange.

Very Strange.

This Spider-Man I Have Heard Of Before,

But This Other Youth, This Flying Boy,

Whom The Newspaper Men Have Named Sky-Boy,

Is Very Curious. Very Curious, Indeed.

This Helmet He Wears

Looks Very Much As I Would Imagine

Dr. Caldwell's Astro Wave Helmet Should Look.

I Wonder...

[Beeping]

Wake Up, Dr. Caldwell.

When Your
Master Speaks,

You Obey,
Miserable sl*ve.

[Electricity Surging]

What Do You Want, You Heartless Devil?

Heh Heh.
That Is Better,

My Dear
Doctor Caldwell.

I Have News For You, My Friend.

Look At
This Picture.

Wha--

The Astro-Helmet?

But Who? How?

Ha! So,
Just As I Thought.

Someone Has Been Hiding

The Astro-Helmet
For You, Eh?

You Heartless Fiend.

I Don't Know What You're Talking About.

Ah, But I Think You Do.

I Have Told You
Over And Over

That I Must Have The Secret Of Your Mysterious Invention

That Cancels The Force Of Gravity.

It Was For That Reason

That I Have Made My Headquarters Here In This Cave.

For That Reason,

I Sucked You Up From The Banquet

With My Controlled Electrobolt And Brought You Here.

I Must Have Your Invention.

Those Fools
At The Institute--

They Said I Was A Madman, A Fool, A Charlatan.

I Will Show Them All That I--Dr. Zap--

Am The Greatest
Scientist

The World
Has Ever Known!

I Will Make Myself
The Master

Of Every Secret Invention On Earth.

Then I--Zap--

Will Ruleth
Supremely!

Yes, You'll Make Yourself A Great Scientist

By Stealing
The Discoveries

Of Other Men.

And I Refuse To Yield To Your Bullying.

The Astro-Helmet Is Too Important,

Too Dangerous To Fall Into Unscrupulous Hands.

I Defy You,

You Raving Madman!

Silence, sl*ve!

Heh Heh Heh.

Perhaps You Have No Idea

Who Could Be Using The Astro-Helmet,

Eh, My Dear
Dr. Caldwell?

No Idea Whatsoever.

Ha! But I Have
A Notion.

I Think
I Can Make A Guess

As To The Identity

Of This Mysterious
Sky-Boy.

Yes. From His Size,

He Is A Young Man,
A Boy.

And The Only Boy Who Could Have Access

To The Astro-Helmet Is Your Own Son,

Jan Caldwell.

No. Leave My Son Alone.

Do What You Like To Me, But Leave Jan Alone.

He Knows Nothing Of This, Nothing! I Swear It.

[Laughs]
But I Think He Does.

Yes, Caldwell,

I Will Yet
Bag Your Helmet,

And Zap Your Boy
To Boot!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

[Ring]

[Ring]

Hello?

Dr. Zap:
If You Would Learn

Of Your Father's
Fate,

Go To
Lightning Mountain.

What? Who Is This?

Go Alone. If You Inform The Police Of This,

You Will Never See Your Father Again.

[Laughter And Dial Tone]

Hello? Hello?

Golly. I'd Better Change

To My Sky-Boy Uniform Right Away.

It Sure Sounds Like A Trap,

But I Don't Have
Any Choice.

I've Got To Take The Chance.

As Sky-Boy, I Can Scout The Place From The Air.

Well, Here Goes.

[Buzzing]

[Dramatic Music Playing]

Got To Get There Fast.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Peter Parker--

In His Guise
As Spider-Man--

Is Searching The Night Skies Above The City

For Any Trace Of The Mysterious Flying Boy

He Encountered Earlier.

What A Spot For Spidey.

To Keep My Job, I Gotta Lug This Darn Camera Around,

Hoping To Get A Shot

Of That Scarlet-Clad
Fly-Boy.

How's A Costumed Crime-Fighter Going To Look

Decked Out Like A Tourist? Golly.

Hey, That Must Be Him Now.

Too Far Away
For A Clear Shot.

I'd Better Follow And Hope He Slows Down.

Hey. He's Heading For The Outskirts Of The City.

Wonder Where He Thinks He's Going.

Holy Cats. I'm Stuck. No More Buildings,

So How Do I Keep Going Now, On Foot?

Wait A Minute. Maybe I Can Hitch A Ride.

Ha Ha! No Hitchhikers, Eh?

Well, What They Don't Know Won't Hurt 'Em.

Hmm. Everything Looks Ok,

But I Don't Know. It's Just Too Peaceful.

Better Take A Closer Look.

Ah, It's Just As
I Had Planned.

Everything Looks Normal...

Too Normal.

What?!

Now, Fella,

Let's Have A Little Summit Conference,

All By Ourselves.

What Are You Doing Here, You Meddlesome Webhead?

You'll Spoil Everything.

Scram, Before I Lose
My Temper.

I Step On Bugs,
You Know.

Yeah? You And What Platoon Of Marines?

[Dramatic Music Playing]

No Fair, You Crimson-Clad Live Wire.

Narrator: As The Rival Crime-Fighters Square Off

For A Showdown In The Sky,

Neither Notices A Strange Antenna

Ascending From Dr. Zap's Underground Lair.

If Someone's Not Careful,

Someone's Sure
To Get Zapped.

Hey, Kid.
Are You All Right?

I've Got A Hunch There's More To This Mountain

Than Meets The Eye.

Whoops!

Wow. Did Anybody
Get The Number

Of That Earthquake?

Not To Be A Cornball,

But Where Am I?

So, My Little Trap

Has Netted 2 Birds Instead Of One.

How Nice Of You
To Drop In.

Save The Compliments.

I Didn't Quite Get The Name On The Invitation,

But You Must Be...

Dr. Zap,
At Your Service.

Hey, That's Quite
A Trick, Doc.

But I'd Hate To Have Your Electric Bills.

Now How's About Showing Us The Way Out

Before I Feed You A Jawfull Of Fist?

Ha. How Do You Like
That Trick?

The Very Latest Thing In Spider Cages.

Hey, It's Jan Caldwell.

Wow. Suddenly Everything Begins To Make Sense.

Dr. Caldwell:
Jan...

Jan, My Boy.

Dad! Oh, Dad.

Thank Heavens
You're All Right.

Dad, Are You Ok?

I Thought I'd Never--

Forgive Me If I Must Interrupt

This Tender
Reunion Scene,

But Now That
The Astro-Helmet

Is In My Hands, I Have Everything I Need.

Therefore, I Have No Further Use For The 2 Of You.

[Banging]

What A Pickle.

And I'm As Helpless As A Pickle In A Jar.

Hey.

Well, Why Not?

Hey, Zap.

How About
A Little Lightning?

Why, You Troublesome
Little--

[Surging]

Look Out, Spider-Man!

[Crash]

Wow.
It's Wonderful

What A Couple Of Flashbulbs Can Do.

Come On, Fellas. Let's Get Outta Here

Before The Roof Comes Down On Our Heads.

But Dad's Chained
To The Wall.

Just A Little
Spider Strength.

There.
Now, Let's Go, g*ng.

[Rumbling]

[Boom]

Gee, Spidey, I Sure Misjudged You.

If It Hadn't Been
For You,

We'd Be...Well...

Gosh, Forget It, Kid.

My Pleasure.

But No More Sky-Boy Stuff From Now On, Ok?

One Costumed Crime-Fighter Is Plenty For This Town.
