The spider show the newly wed couple their room.

The flies were a newly married couple who unknowingly book a room into the fake hotel run by a devious spider.

Meanwhile, his wife wriggles herself free from the web and gives freedom to all the captives, who torment the spider by flicking several sharp pen heads and firing many aspirin pills at the spider.

After paying revenge to the spider, the couple hold another wedding ceremony, followed by the other captives of the hotel, until the ending scene rolls in.
