In season 1 episode 8 of Spider-Man, titled "Horn of the Rhino," our hero Spider-Man faces off against a new villain in town - the Rhino. The episode starts with a businessman named Max Shrek getting robbed by the Rhino, who is rampaging through the city stealing valuable items.

As Spider-Man swings through the city, he hears about the Rhino's crimes and decides to investigate. He heads to the Daily Bugle to speak with his friend J. Jonah Jameson, who is angry about the Rhino's thefts and is convinced that Spider-Man is somehow involved.

Meanwhile, the Rhino continues to wreak havoc, stealing an expensive horn from a museum. Spider-Man arrives on the scene and tries to stop him, but the Rhino is too strong for him and he escapes.

Later, while Peter Parker (Spider-Man's alter ego) is at home with his Aunt May, he sees a news report about the Rhino's latest crime. Aunt May recognizes the horn as belonging to her friend Dr. Curt Connors, a scientist who is known for his research on animal behavior. Peter realizes that Connors might be able to help him figure out how to stop the Rhino.

Peter visits Connors' lab and tells him about the Rhino, hoping that he can offer some insights. Connors tells him that the Rhino's behavior is probably related to his rhinoceros DNA, which he obtained through a scientific experiment. He also reveals that the horn the Rhino stole is actually a device that was used to suppress his animal instincts, and without it, the Rhino is even more dangerous.

With this information, Spider-Man starts to come up with a plan to stop the Rhino. He decides to create a fake horn that will lure the Rhino into a trap, and asks Connors to help him. Together, they create a replica of the horn and set up the trap in an abandoned warehouse.

The Rhino falls for the trap and is captured by Spider-Man, who returns the stolen items to their rightful owners. J. Jonah Jameson is still suspicious of Spider-Man's involvement in the Rhino case, but Peter knows that he did the right thing and saved the day.

Overall, "Horn of the Rhino" is a classic episode of Spider-Man that showcases the hero's quick thinking, resourcefulness, and dedication to helping others. The introduction of the Rhino as a new villain adds an exciting element to the series, and the episode's focus on the importance of controlling our animal instincts offers an important lesson for viewers of all ages.
