Among the floats is a movie star with a fortune in jewels on her - and in the crowd is a group of thieves. When a gas-filled balloon released by the thieves explodes, it knocks everyone out, except Spidey, who goes into action. The thieves escape in a hot-air balloon, but Spidey discovers their identities. They are led by a huge man named Dr. Humperdinck Dumpty, who has his thugs rain sandbags on Spidey, knocking him off the balloon. Spidey lands on a parade-balloon likeness of himself, and helps the movie star, who has just recovered to find her jewels missing. When an announcement appears in the Bugle about a priceless jewel collection on display at a gala, Dumpty - and Spidey - make plans to attend. Dumpty & his henchmen release a laughing gas that distracts the guests, and the thieves grab the jewels. Spidey, however, has his own gas mask that he accosted from one of Dumpty's henchmen, and sprays I.B.P. - Instant Banana Peel - over the floor, which traps the fleeing thieves so police can arrest them. Dumpty escapes to a window, where he inflates his hat to a huge size & drops to the street below. Unfortunately for him, the police are waiting for Dumpty on the street below and arrest him after he traps himself in his hat. Written by Derek O'Cain See less
