Dr. Weir travels to the Valley of Horror by request of his friend Dr. Schiasi. But Dr. Schiasi is already dead at the hands of a giant spider. Dr. Weir is also caught in a web but escapes using the Purple Claw. The Countess Arachni stops Baron Latro from stabbing Dr. Weir because she finds him attractive, but steals the Purple Claw. Dr. Weir is caught in a web at her castle and passes out. The Countess rescues him by killing Baron Latro in his spider form. She throws the Purple Claw into the moat and spins a web around him, but he falls out a window and recovers the Purple Claw, defeating her.
