Fat Cat tries to throw himself in the river, but the splash empties it, and attracts the attention of Bunsen, who tries to befriend him, but Fat Cat turns mean. Spider-Ham saves Bunsen, but they run into two more Fat Cats. Spider-Ham and the interns evade the cats, and head for a restaurant, but the Pig-Signal summons our hero to the prison, where the cats are planning to break in so they can eat and be left alone. Spider-Ham prepares to capture them, but Ducktor Doom, Dragon-Lassy, and other villains are breaking out, so he stops them, and the cats decide to go straight.
