Spider-Ham fails to stop the Senior Simians from robbing a bank. Jonah is fired by the Daily Beagle's new owner-editor, Charles Foster Pupp, who tries to befriend the three interns. Trying to make it as a reporter, Jonah misses several big stories, but discovers the hideout of the Senior Simians, who are then captured by Spider-Ham. A surprise twist involving Charles Foster Mutt and J. Joanna Jackal leaves the paper's future in question.
