In it, a distant galaxy is terrorized by the evil Infinata, a malevolent and supremely powerful entity from another dimension who resembles a one eyed praying mantis, and his minions who are bent on ruling the cosmos. On the planet Gorth in this galaxy, an alien scientist escapes his homeworlds destruction by the Infinata with the Library of Gorth, the collective knowledge of the entire planet condensed into a small palm sized orb module. This library contains as yet undeveloped secrets to destroy the Infinata. As the scientist escapes, the Infinata gives chase knowing that if an advanced civilization could decipher the Library, it could mean his destruction. The Infinata sends his minions to disable the scientists ship before he could escape. Having no choice, the scientist changes his course to the nearest galaxy, enters our solar system and heads to the one planet with intelligent life—Earth magnetising asteroids to protect himself. As the spaceship enters Earths atmosphere, the friction causes the ship to catch fire and resemble a shooting star. As it flies over New York, Spider-Man spots the shooting star. Intrigued, he tries to get a closer look. Spider-Man soon realizes, however, that this is not a shooting star at all, but a pint-sized spaceship, only about a foot long, which falls straight to him. After catching the ship in his hand, Spider-Man opens the small door, and the alien scientist, who is only an inch tall on Earth, emerges from it. The scientist communicates with Spider-Man using mental telepathy that Spider-Man deciphers with his spider-sense. After giving Spider-Man the Library of Gorth, the alien then dies. Spider-Man, after being made aware of the danger his galaxy could be in, decides to take the Library to the government authorities to be analyzed. However, The Infinata, who witnessed the arachnoid take charge of the Library, sends his demons to capture Spider-Man and bring him to the realm of Dimentia Five, the Infinatas home. Upon arriving, Spider-Man is interrogated by the Infinata as to the whereabouts of the Library of Gorth. Spider-Man then flees, but he is quickly re-captured after the Infinatas demons zap him and bring him to the Infanta inside his citadel. Spider-Man makes one last attempt to fight back but is defeated again by the horrors of the dimension and finds himself sinking in some form of quicksand. Knowing he has only moments to live, Spider-Man racks his brain to find a way to defeat this powerful enemy and closes his eyes to think. Upon closing his eyes, he finds himself back in New York for a split second, which he tries again, yielding the same results. With that he discovers the Infinatas secret. Only fear makes the Infinata powerful, Dementia Five is all illusion, and that if one closes his eyes and his mind to that fear, he would be free. Spider-Man relaxes, closes his eyes, and leaves the 5th Dimension. Defeated and fearful of retaliation, the Infinata flees the galaxy, searching for other galaxies and universes to terrorize and destroy. Meanwhile, Spider-Man, having safely arrived back in his own world, delivers the Library of Gorth (which he had hidden, the whole time, in one of his web-shooters) to the proper authorities. 50 Specialists and Slaves The Master technician, now calling himself the Radiation Specialist returns, levitating Manhattan island once more and using another radiation to take control of most of the citys minds, except for strong minds, and some warped, criminal minds. George Stacy is able to keep free, but unfortunately some criminals attempt a breakout using Stacy as a hostage. Spider-Man rescues Stacy, then defeats the Specialist. Footage is re-used from Swing City and To Cage a Spider. 51 Down to Earth Footage used from Neptunes Nose Cone. This time a meteorite crashes on the island, where Caveman attempt to throw it into a volcano, at the episodes end is revealed to contain a spaceship. 52 Trip to Tomorrow Spider-Man narrates tales of his adventures after falling inside a train to a boy who is running away and wants to be a superhero. Hearing of the danger, he returns home just as the train starts leaving, which Spider-Man laughs at. Uses footage from Return of the Flying Dutchman, Thunder Rumble, and The Evil Sorcerer. Note: ABC never aired Revolt in the Fifth Dimension episode with the rest of the third season, possibly because of the incidence of death, spatial creepiness, and great psychedelia in that episode.[citation needed] ABC aired Sting of the Scorpion/Trick or Treachery in its place.[1]
