Spider-Man figures out Louis Baxter’s scam and goes to his boat to find out how he’s cheating. Boomerang intercepts and knocks him out. Boomerang chains Spidey up in a boat filled with explosives that’s supposed to make it look like another attempt at murdering Louis. Spider-Man breaks free of the chains and battles Boomerang for a while before redirecting the boat toward Louis’s boat. Louis’s methods of cheating are creating fog and using jet boosters. Louis and his crew see the oncoming explosive vessel and jump overboard. They collide and explode fantastically. Spider-Man then has Boomerang and Louis apprehended.
