Synopsis:
Jonah lets Peter take pics at the circus as Spider-Man is supposed to put in an appearance. Foggy and Karen talk Matt into taking a night off and catching the show themselves. The real Spider-Man actually ends up saving the fake one but this allows the Ringmaster to use his trick hat to hypnotize him. Ringmaster also mesmerizes the entire crowd but before he can rob them, Daredevil opposes him as he is not affected. Ringmaster sends Spidey to take on DD and the two battle before Spider-Man is snapped out of his mental control and the two beat on the Ringmaster and his circus of criminals.
