Plot
The episode begins at the Parkers' House, inside Peter's room, Peter, Gwen and Miles are playing a video game on their game consoles when Aunt May enters the room, telling the kids that she is heading to the store, asking them what flavour of ice-cream would they like. Peter answers Cherry Vanilla, while Gwen says Chocolate Chip and Miles claims Pistachio. Aunt May comments that all those flavours are delicious, before leaving. After Aunt May left, Gwen claims that Chocolate Chip is better than Cherry Vanilla and Pistachio, causing Miles to counter by claiming that Pistachio is the best. Gwen and Miles then have a playful argument before Peter calls a time out, saying that everybody knows that Cherry Vanilla is the best, causing the trio to laugh. Just then, the Spidey Alert sounds, alerting the trio that there is trouble in the neighbourhood.
Peter, Gwen and Miles change into their superhero identities, Spidey, Ghost Spider and Spin, heading to Webquarters where TRACE-E is. TRACE-E uses the supercomputer to show them that Rhino has just stolen a big bag of gold from a bank. Spin claims that Rhino will not even see him(Spin) coming when he(Spin) uses his(Spin) cloaking power, so Rhino better watch out, which Ghost Spider counters by saying that Rhino should watch out for her super spider power as she can glide in. Upon exiting Webquarters, Spin and Ghost Spider get into another friendly competition, this time trying to get ahead of each other.
Upon arriving at the bank, the trio begin looking for clues. Spin points out the rhino-shaped hole in the bank's wall and Rhino's footprints that lead across the street. Ghost Spider then finds one of the stolen gold coins and a trail of gold coins leading another direction. Spidey suggests that they need a higher view, so the team swing up a building, with Spin and Ghost Spider still having their friendly competition, this time claiming that they will see who is the better detective. Spidey then uses his mask's zoom-in feature to take a closer look, eventually finding panicked civilians as Rhino charges across the street. Spidey suggests sneaking up on Rhino, which causes Spin to get excited and interrupt by saying that he(Spin) will use his(Spin's) cloaking power, but is then interrupted by Ghost Spider, who claims that she will use her web-wings to glide down fast and web Rhino, but Spin argues that cloaking is better. Spidey tries to reason with the two, but Spin then cloaks and goes off while Spidey is not looking. When Spidey turns to notice Spin gone, Ghost Spider heads off as well.
The invisible Spin chases after Rhino on the street, while Ghost Spider glides after Rhino from the air. Since Spin is invisible, Ghost Spider did not see him, and since she is behind him, Spin did not see Ghost Spider, causing Ghost Spider to crash into Spin as the two accidentally webbed up each other to the ground. The commotion causes Rhino to turn around and notice them. Rhino then charges at Spin and Ghost Spider, but luckily, Spidey manages to get the two out of Rhino's path in time. Rhino then races off, claiming that he will find more banks to steal gold coins from. After Rhino is gone, Spidey asks Spin and Ghost Spider is they are alright, which Spin regretfully responds that he(Spin) let Rhino get away, as he(Spin) apologises for that, pulling his(Spin's) mask up to reveal his(Spin's) face. Ghost Spider pulls up her mask as well, as she regretfully says that she is pretty sure that Rhino got away because of her. Spidey then pulls his(Spidey's) mask up, reminding the two that they are a team and that means working together instead of arguing with each other. Encouraged, Miles responds by saying that they will need all their powers to stop Rhino. Miles and Gwen then finally express appreciation towards each other's powers. Peter tells the two that they both have powers that are strong, but they are even stronger when together. The trio then share a fist bump before pulling their masks down and heading out to stop Rhino.
The team then stops at a building rooftop, as Spin asks Ghost Spider if she sees any clues since she is a great detective. Ghost Spider uses her mask's zoom-in feature to take a closer look, and spots a bunch of gold coins on the street. The trio then heads to the gold coins, as Spin notices a bent lamppost, saying that something as big as a rhinoceros definitely rampaged through there. Spidey then remembers that Rhino said that he(Rhino) was going to steal more gold coins. Spidey then calls TRACE-E, asking her to send him(Spidey) a map of all the banks in the area. TRACE-E salutes and quickly finds a map to the nearest bank, sending that map to Spidey.
As Rhino is seen heading to the nearest bank, Spidey comes up with a plan, telling Spin to use his(Spin's) cloaking power to keep Rhino busy while he(Spidey) and Ghost Spider swing in to web Rhino. The trio carry out the plan with Spin confusing Rhino, allowing Spidey to snatch the bag of coins away while Ghost Spider webs Rhino's feet to the ground. The angry Rhino quickly tears through the webs, then charges at Spidey in an attempt to get the bag of coins back. Spidey tosses the bag to Spin, who swings away with it. Rhino angrily grabs several objects to throw at Spin, but Spidey and Ghost Spider catch those objects and bring said objects down safely. Spidey then comes up with a new plan to keep Rhino away from all the other people so nobody gets hurt. The trio then starts a game of keep away, tossing the bag to each other as they swing to the Park. Rhino chases the trio off the park's pavement and into a portion of the park that in surrounded by trees. The trio then web up Rhino and spin him(Rhino) with their webs, until Rhino is completely tied up. With Rhino defeated, the trio takes the bag of gold coins back to the bank.
Later, back in Peter's room, the trio changed back into their civilian clothes, just before Aunt May enters the room, telling the trio that the store had all their(the trio's) favourite flavours: Cherry Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and Pistachio. Peter thanks Aunt May, before claiming that he bets that those flavours will work great together, which Gwen responds by commenting just like them(the trio), which Miles agrees. The trio then tries the three flavours together, finding it delicious, as the episode ends.
