After saving a gem courier from a couple of muggers
late one night, Spider-Man is contacted by a talent scout called Hal Hunter, who was observing him
nearby. In reality, Hunter is working for the Kingpin, and he is told to use an offer of money to lure
Spidey into taking photographs of an art exhibit at the Graham Arts Museum. Unbeknownst to
Spidey, the camera he used contained infra-red film that the Kingpin's goons use to find the location of the
sensor-beams guarding the statue, and manage to steal it. The next day, with Spidey blamed for the
statue's theft, the Bank Bonanza quiz show offers a grand prize of a million dollars. Hunter offers Spidey
the job of "courier" to transport the money to the show, but the real money was stolen by the Kingpin's
forces, with Spidey giving the studio a case full of counterfeit bills. With Spidey now blamed for the
theft of the money as well, he figures out that Hunter set him up, and after visiting him, is offered one
last job to fix the Hapsburg Clock above the International Diamond Exchange. The Kingpin decides
that Hal Hunter has outlived his usefulness, and decides to get rid of him after this last job. With
Spidey now knowing that Hunter has been using him on behalf of the Kingpin, he prepares to prevent
the Kingpin from stealing diamonds from the exchange and save Hunter.
