A series of robberies are taking place around Manhattan, all committed by prominent figures history - Blackbeard the Pirate and Jesse James. Spidey traces the dirty work to Parafino's Wax Museum, where he discovers that sure enough, the figures created by Parafino are behind the robberies. Parafino, enraged that Spidey is on to him, has the Executioner of Paris go after him, but Spidey traps the Executioner. When Spidey confronts Parafino at his museum, Parafino turns the robots of the 3 villains on him. Spidey, however, rips the control box out of the wall, stopping them in their tracks. When Parafino hurls a glob of wax at Spidey, the web-slinger throws it right back at him, pinning Parafino against a wall. The museum owner is arrested for the robberies.
