Story
The episode opens up in New York City at nighttime. A group of bank robbers board their getaway car after making off with a fortune. One of the burglars shouts how the cops wouldn't be able to get a hold of them due to the speed they were going at. However, they all begin screaming when their car gets stuck in what appears to be a giant net. The camera then zooms out and reveals it to be a giant web strung up between two buildings. The police arrive to arrest the crooks, only for one of the officers Captain George Stacy, to find a note attached to their car reading "Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."

The camera then switches it's focus to a man in a red and blue costume standing atop the World Trade Center (the series takes place in the 1980s). The person identifies himself as Peter Parker, also known as the hero Spider-Man. Spider-Man then begins to tell his story, from the day he was bitten by a radioactive spider whilst on a field trip, to trying to cash in on said powers, to his uncle's death and realization that with great power comes great responsibility. Spider-Man then shoots a web and begins to swing off into the night sky.

Meanwhile, at a warehouse, an old man is busy working on a flight harness with massive, green and white wings. The man then says "yes, it's almost complete". The camera then zooms out to show a vulture soaring through the night sky.

The next morning, Peter walks to Midtown High, only to meet up with one of his best friends, the beautiful Mary Jane Watson, of whom he has a crush on. At school Peter and Mary Jane meet up with their friend, Harry Osborn, the son of industrialist Norman Osborn. The three begin talking about the upcoming school prom, until they are interrupted by Midtown's resident bully, Flash Thompson. Flash begins harassing Peter over his desire to go to the prom, but is interrupted by his girlfriend, Liz Allen, who tells Flash to stop acting so immature and to grow up. While Flash and Liz argue, Peter, Mary Jane, and Harry take their leave.

Later that day, an alarm goes off at a jewelry store. A man with large, metal wings and a green jumpsuit cashes through the windows just as the police arrive. One of the security officers then shouts "Help, help! Someone! The Vulture has escaped with the diamonds!"

That evening, Peter heads to his workplace, the Daily Bugle, owned by the grouchy publisher J. Jonah Jameson, who also dislikes Spider-Man, of whom he takes pictures of. As Peter arrives, Jameson tells Peter to get some photos of the new super criminal, the Vulture, who Peter dismisses as an urban legend, but accepts the assignment nonetheless, and that if he gets pictures of the crook, there will be a $2,000 reward. Peter, as Spider-Man, then sets up his camera, hoping to lure out the Vulture. Spider-Man then spots the Vulture flying across the skyline and attacks. After a brief aerial battle in the sky, the Vulture dumps Spider-Man into a water tower. Distraught, Spider-Man returns to his camera, only to find that it captured no pictures of the Vulture himself.

The next day, in math class, Peter figures out that the Vulture's wings must be powered by some kind of electro-magnetic power converter which enables him to fly. Creating an EMP disruptor, Peter goes out again as Spider-Man in order to defeat the Vulture and get some pictures for the Bugle. Spider-Man then sets up his camera and lures out the Vulture by calling out his name. The Vulture attacks Spider-Man and the two fight. Spider-Man then activates the EMP disruptor and clips the Vulture's flight. Spider-Man then shoots out a web which catches the Vulture, leaving him dangling over and alleyway for the police to find. Spider-Man, who had remembered to set the camera to autoshot, heads home.

The next day, Mary Jane tells Peter that he sure looks happy, and Peter admits that he is happy. That afternoon, Peter gets his $2,000 paycheck from Jonah and heads home. When Peter shows the money to his Aunt May, though, she asks if he's doing anything illegal. Peter then reassures her that he was only taking pictures of a "dumb bird" as the scene switches to Adrian Toomes sitting in his prison cell.
