Synopsis:
This story is told through the viewpoint of a young introvert who actually believes he is a spider. After finding a young girl named Tina on the streets suffering from shock and apparent beatings, Lamont and Margot set out to find the source of her fears. A mentally ill young man named Eric hides in the attic of an old brownstone. Lamont and Margot become his next intended victims, having killed his large spider during their investigations. The Shadow has a talk with Tina’s father, forcing him to see her in the hospital. Margot finds herself trapped in Eric’s room, but The Shadow arrives to save the day. Believing he can make a spider web like his former pet, Eric attempts to flee out the window on a flimsy strand he wove and falls to his death.
