The kids grumbled when paired by lot-drawing at a project riding along in cop patrol cars. Peter has to rush between his identities to fight the crime world's new Enforcers, supplied by Norman Osborn's secret new scientist. Meanwhile Flash turns in the Mustangs for winning the cup while Harry was doped.

Pete's team mate Marcus Allen is addicted to horse races. His bookie, one of the Green Goblin's crime barons, offers him one out of gambling debts: a single injection. Alas, Dr. Curt Connors's potion installs an 'armor' of fire, creating the 'Molten Man', whose glow is controlled by a device the Goblin gets. Spiderman must counter, yet save the uncontrollable arsonist.
