Plot

The film starts off with a devious spider who held many flies captive in the rooms of "The Cobweb Hotel" and sees a newly married couple of flies booking a room into the fake hotel. After they became separated, the male fly fought with the spider being a "flyweight champion", however, he still became stuck in a net during the match. Meanwhile, his wife wriggled herself free from the web and gave freedom to all of the captives, who later tormented the spider by flicking several sharp pen heads and firing many aspirin pills at the spider. After paying revenge to the spider, the couple attended another wedding ceremony followed by the other captives of the hotel until the ending scene rolled in.[2]
