Synopsis for "The Arms of Doctor Octopus!” Issue #88:
When the mechanical arms of Dr. Octopus are put on display at New York's Museum of Natural Science, Otto Octavius uses his mental link to them to command them to go to the prison where he is being held prisoner and bust him out. Happening by, Spider-Man tries to stop them, but has to let them go when the damage they cause effects the structural integrity of a building, and Spider-Man has to focus his powers on preventing the building from collapsing until it can be evacuated. He then returns to his apartment and changes back to Peter Parker, so that he can catch up with his studying but ends up falling asleep.
The next day, Peter goes to class and is asked to see Professor Warren, Warren warns Peter that his grades are getting dangerously low, and if they continue to drop he may lose his scholarship. Meanwhile, the arms of Dr. Octopus manage to reach the prison and break their master free. Putting on his arms once more, Octopus flees the prison to begin his criminal activities anew...
