Synopsis for "A Friend in Need"

When the Chameleon disguises himself as Spider-Man in an attempt to break his friend Joe Cord out of prison, his initial attempt fails. When reports about "Spider-Man's" break in at the prison gets to Peter Parker, he decides to investigate using his press credentials to try and get the story. When he arrives there, he finds himself stuck with J. Jonah Jameson and Ned Leads who have also come to cover the story.
Meanwhile, the Hulk is bounding through the city following his last adventure with the Defenders. When he crashes into the Chameleon's get-away vehicle, the Chameleon puts on a Rick Jones mask hoping to trick the Hulk into breaking Joe out of prison. The Hulk, believing that the Chameleon is really the his friend Rick Jones, travels to the prison and begins breaking in.
Peter manages to slip away and change into Spider-Man and attempt to stop the Hulk from breaking Joe out. However, the Hulk is too strong and succeeds in his appointed task. However, Spider-Man follows the Hulk to the Chameleon, where Spider-Man reveals his old foes true identity. When the Hulk violently attacks the Chameleon, but Spider-Man fights him off.
When the Chameleon tries to escape, Spider-Man stops his get away car with a web net, and when a police officer tries to shoot the Chameleon, Joe takes the bullet and dies. After, the Chameleon would turn himself over to the police, and the Hulk and Spider-Man would leave the scene, Spider-Man leaving J. Jonah Jameson with a web-gag parting gift when Jameson orders the police to arrest Spider-Man.
