Spider-Man has come to the conclusion that Madame Belladonna is actually fashion queen Desiree Vaughn-Pope, and that she intends to eliminate fishy businessman Roderick Kingsley. Spider-Man confronts Desiree's sister Narda, secretly the real Belladonna, who tries to lure both Spider-Man and Kingsley into a deadly trap. Her plan fails and Spider-Man appears just in time to stop the disgruntled Prowler II from exacting revenge on his former employer.
