Plot
Gyeong-su decides to visit a “human arachnid” with a spider's body and a human head at an industrial fair in S city. However, when he walks through the onlookers and gets to see the human arachnid, it suddenly sheds tears and blinks at Gyeong-su. He finds out that the human arachnid was Chang-o, who had been a close friend of Gyeong-su’s as a child. While working in a coal mine in Japan, his legs were amputated in an accident, and he was now making a living as a human arachnid, wearing a spider costume at exhibitions.
