A steel-enforced thug named Ramrod forces Dr. Kissik to manufacture a poison and uses it to exact revenge upon the owner and the guests at Mickey's bar. Peter Parker [Spider-Man] happens to be on the scene to see his neighbor Mr. Pincus perform his country and western songs, and it becomes a race against time to save the lives of the guests and his friend Debra Whitman.
