As Spider-Man examines the Goliath Diamond, the Sandman appears and swipes the diamond, with Spider-Man getting the blame as he is seen by the guards. The Sandman demands a $1,000,000 dollar ransom from J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man fights him where the ransom is due to be delivered, but the Sandman escapes before Jameson arrives and takes the ransom, only to find that he has been given a rock. Finding out that Jameson has given him a suitcase filled with pieces of paper, the Sandman demands $2,000,000. Spider-Man fights him at a rock quarry and defeats the Sandman by knocking into a trough of water, making him soggy. He then squirts the Sandman with more water from a hose, weakening him and forcing him to surrender the diamond, finally leaving him for the police. However, Peter forgot to take any pictures.
