The
Black Cat crashes a New Years' party at the Daily Bugle, stealing partygoers'
jewelry. Spider-Man follows her, despite his promise to meet up with Betty at
the party, and returns the jewels to Jameson's guests. Unfortunately, he loses
track of the Cat, as well as standing up Betty at the party. The next day,
Peter apologizes
to Betty and promises to never stand her up again, with her agreeing to
Peter's suggestion for lunch. The Black Cat visits the Bugle again, and asks
Jameson to issue a challenge to Spider-Man, stating that she will steal the
famous Maltese Mouse artifact,
worth a million dollars. Spidey makes an excuse to Betty for missing their
lunch date, and arranges for them to spend the evening together in the
audience of the famous Johnny Griffon show before returns to the ship. Spidey
manages to stop the Cat from stealing the Mouse from the cargo ship, and is
offered the job of guarding the artifact
on the Johnny Griffon Show. That night, with Spidey making his appearance on
the show, as well as trying to spend a little time in the audience with Betty
as Peter, the Black Cat appears on schedule and steals the Mouse from under
Spider-Man's nose in front of millions of viewers. Trying to salvage what
little reputation he had in the first place, Spidey pursues the Black Cat to a
nearby amusement park, with full intentions of capturing her and retrieving
the Maltese Mouse..

When Spider-Man uses a phone booth to
apologize to Betty for standing her up, the
person who was just using the booth previously bears a very strong resemblance to Clark
Kent. This is the second of three
Superman references in this series.
