Synopsis for "The Man in the Crime-Master's Mask!"

Pete’s looking for a Spider-Man outfit to wear and despite trying home as well as The Daily Bugle, he's come up empty. As Pete goes to bed, we see a meeting on the docks between the Green Goblin and a man known as the Crimemaster who apparently knows the Goblin’s secret identity yet the Goblin knows Crimemaster’s identity too. The masked Crimemaster then pays visits to all the big criminal organizations in town stating that he’s taking control immediately. As we see the Crimemaster go home, we see Frederick Foswell hide a set of clothes in a panel behind his clock. Meanwhile, Pete goes to school, and has heard enough from Flash and attacks him but is seen by the principal Mr. Davis and gets in trouble. Flash does the honorable thing and lets Mr. Davis know what really happened. After getting a Spider-Man outfit from a costume shop, he goes to track down Frederick Foswell but as he goes into his apartment, a gunshot goes off and almost hits him. As Spider-Man follows the figure, he discovers it’s the Crimemaster and before he lays a fist on him, he’s given a gas that suffocates him. As he falls off the side of a building, he’s presumed dead. Meanwhile the mob groups have decided to meet and hear the Crimemaster’s deal down by a pier and a character known as Patch tells the cops what’s happening. Yet as Spider-Man does surveillance on the meeting, the Green Goblin swoops down and begins to attack him. A pumpkin bomb stuns Spider-Man and the Goblin goes to unmask him, but can’t since Spider-Man had to use his sticky webbing to keep the cheap store-bought costume together. As the Crimemaster makes his presentation, the Green Goblin presents a limp body of Spider-Man to the crowd of criminals.
