Spider-Man faces off against Parafino, a wax museum owner who plans to make Spider-Man into his latest exhibit. He uses escaped convict Red Dog Melvin as bait for Spider-Man, disguising him as a waxwork. He catches Spider-Man using a wax sculpture of himself and captures Betty Brant when she comes to the museum. However, Spider-Man frees himself and destroys the wax Parafino by increasing the heat. While Betty gets the police, Melvin revives and attacks the real Parafino. Spider-Man webs them both up.
