Synopsis for "The Wondrous World of Dr. Strange"

Spider-Man is disappointed to find nothing going on at night. However, a man named Xandu enters a bar-room brawl finding two muscular men daring anyone in there to a fight. Xandu hypnotizes them to feel no pain and give them limitless strength to accomplish their task: to steal the second half of the Wand of Watoomb. We learn that Dr. Strange holds this half in his mansion. As they break in, Dr. Strange tries to distract them but he is soon knocked out. The two henchmen find the Wand of Watoomb and exit a skylight, which attracts the attention of Spider-Man. Spider-Man goes in to fight not knowing their supernatural strength, yet as he’s knocked down, he throws a Spider Tracer on one of the henchmen. Xandu receives the second half of the wand and joins them together. He reveals that with the wand he can create doorways to other dimensions and times, as well as see any place or object he desires. Spider-Man interrupts Xandu’s trying to kill Dr. Strange but starts to disappear to an alternate dimension. Spider-Man realizes this and grabs the Wand of Watoomb realizing its importance. Xandu then sends the two henchmen after Spider-Man. As they fight, Dr. Strange regains his consciousness and follows the track to Xandu’s lair. The two do battle when the two henchmen bring Spider-Man back to Earth. Xandu regains control of the Wand of Watoomb and uses it against Dr. Strange. Realizing he’s overpowered by the wand, he leaves his physical form to his ectoplasmic spirit to aid Spider-Man. At Dr. Strange’s suggestion, Spider-Man grabs onto a wire and shorts out the two henchmen’s hypnosis. Dr. Strange returns to his physical form and fights alongside Spider-Man to trip up Xandu with his webbing and retrieves the wand. The wand is drained of its magical power and Dr. Strange wipes the memory and evil intentions of Xandu.
