George, a psychic arachnid, despairs at the murder of fellow spiders and takes over a local television station to stop the anti-spider violence.
George is a psychic spider who can control what humans think and do. He lives with two house-variety spiders and the Milligans. After watching Mrs Milligan batter to death and drown his Uncle Bob, George falls into despair. He decides he cannot let the spider killing go on. Taking control of Mr Milligan, he commandeers a television station in the centre of Manchester. He aims to broadcast spider propaganda to make humans see that spiders can feel too. His plans go amiss when humans become suspicious, wondering if, after all, spiders can think, and an arachnid genocide begins.
