Shiro, a psychic boy from a secret city in the mountains - a city built and inhabited by aliens as it turns out - comes to fetch Spider-Man (Sinji Todoo) to help him save his sister Miyo from being sacrificed to their monster-God. Spider-Man soon figures out the monster God is actually a Machine Bem (~ robot monster) courtesy of the Iron Cross Army and those who control the human sacrificeds etc are actually in league with the Iron Cross Army. So Spider-Man turns the village's populace against the Iron Cross Army, and when the Machine Bem attacks, he just fetches his giant robot Marveller/Leopardon and defeats and kills the creature.

So-so episode of the series, but still some childish and mindless fun.
