Introducing cockroach boy, a young boy who plays cruel pranks involving
cockroaches on pretty much everybody. Thus, nobody likes him, but
Spider-Man (Shinji Todou) figures there must be more to the boy's cruel
streak, so he investigates and finds out that his father has been
kidnapped by loan sharks for whom he has been a guarantor. Spidey
investigates some more and also finds out that cockroach boy's father is a
security guard at Interpol, and the loansharks behind his kidnapping are
actually Iron Cross Army operators. Soon, they also kidnap cockroach boy
and threaten to poison him should dad not give them the blueprints of
Interpol Japan headquarters so they can gas everyone inside via the
airducts. Interestingly the monster that's supposed to poison the boy is a
cockroach robot. Of course, Spider-Man brings everything to a happy
ending. Rather boring episode that puts too much emphasis on
its rather cheesy story and lacks in the action department.
