The Champ finds himself caught in the sinister web of the Yellow Spider, a mysterious criminal mastermind who demands Doctor Marlin's secret formula—the source of the Champ's extraordinary strength—or threatens his life by midnight. Kidnapped aboard a flying bullet-ship and bound before a giant glowing spider projection, the Champ must face off against this unknown adversary and his army of Oriental henchmen while Detective Harrigan races against time back at headquarters to uncover the truth. With a deadly dwarf messenger loose in the police station and the clock ticking toward the deadline, the stage is set for a high-flying battle of wits and will.
