Plot

The film starts off with a devious spider (voiced by an uncredited Jack Mercer) who held many flies captive in the rooms of "The Cobweb Hotel" and sees a newly married couple of flies booking a room into the fake hotel. After they became separated, the male fly fought with the spider being a "flyweight champion", however, he still became stuck in a net during the match.

Meanwhile, his wife wriggled herself free from the web and gave freedom to all of the captives, who later tormented the spider by flicking several sharp pen heads and firing many aspirin pills at the spider. After paying revenge to the spider, the couple attended another wedding ceremony followed by the other captives of the hotel until the ending scene rolled in.[3]

gollark: The in-memory database is, however, really fast, it's fearlessly concurrent™, and it uses relatively high performance libraries.
gollark: For ease of implementation it uses an in-memory database which isn't hugely space-efficient. But I don't anticipate this using more than something like 10MB on Minoteaur-sized databases, and PHP/MW database backends (except SQLite) have more overhead than that anyway, as far as I know.
gollark: Plus, Minoteaur is much more resource-efficient, ish.
gollark: Also, I want features they don't have and I can't work with their giant million-line legacy codebase.
