In an unbelievable development, Aunt May is about to marry Dr. Octopus! What?! The wondrous wall-crawler rushes to Westchester to crash the wedding!

In the chaos that ensues, Doc Ock and Aunt May flee via helicopter to a small Canadian island...that happens to be home to a nuclear power plant! Also during the mêlée, the quick-thinking web-slinger hitches a ride on Hammerhead's chopper! Eventually all parties arrive north of the border and the final free-for-all begins...right next to the atomic reactor! Oh my, what a disastrous mix! How is the wall-crawler going to prevent a nuclear meltdown much less save his dear Aunt May? Cameo appearances by Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, Ned Leeds, Joe Robertson, and J. Jonah Jameson.
