Rory Montgomery is only 12, but he's determined to one day to marry Jennafer Yarbro. He loves her personality. He thinks she's a bit crazy, handling black spiders in jars, but he admires her courage, and loves her ambition to study spiders one day in college. While he and Jennafer keep baby Avegael from getting bitten, the two youngsters study a little "village" in the corner of their garage, a group of beautiful, glossy black widow spiders. Their favorite is Twila, a lady who is very shy but seems eager to educate these big creatures about how useful and misunderstood spiders are. The only problem is, how to stop Daddy Monty from smashing them or spraying them with raid!
