Synopsis:
Spider-Man attempts to join the Fantastic Four in order to earn money. When he infiltrates the headquarters of the team, the other heroes misconstrue his motives and attack. Eventually, the fight ends. Spider-Man is then disappointed to learn that the Fantastic Four do not earn salaries, so he departs.

Meanwhile, a master of disguise named the Chameleon schemes to steal missile defense plans and sell them to the communists. He uses Spider-Man as a patsy, setting him up to take the fall, while he escapes in a helicopter. Spider-Man chases the Chameleon and catches him before he can deliver the stolen plans. Spider-Man brings back the spy, but the authorities are duped. They try to take Spider-Man into custody instead. Eventually, Spider-Man flees, and the real villain is caught be police.
