Australian hunter Harley Clivendon pretends to be secret admirer of J. Jonah Jameson and gives as a "token of (his) esteem" to the cantankerous newspaper publisher a weird, hypnotic idol, which entrances Jameson into robbing his own wall safe and placing the money inside of the idol for Clivendon's aborigine helper to collect. When Spidey discovers Clivendon's scheme, Clivendon throws a boomerang to strike Spidey unconscious and binds Spidey beneath an elevator carriage to be crushed when the carriage reaches ground level, but Spidey breaks his bindings to escape from the descending carriage and confronts Clivendon. After dodging the spears hurled and bullets fired at him by Clivendon, Spidey throws the advancing aborigine at Clivendon and webs them both for police capture- and Jameson has his money back.
