## Plot

The video begins with a spider entering a cave. At another entrance, Dave and Bart enter the cave, and after looking around the cave more, they use a couple stone blocks to rest. They then notice a slime hopping around, and Dave goes to the slime. He shows the slime a picture of Steven. The slime does not understand the picture, so Dave places the picture in front of the slime's face, so it cannot see a thing. Due to the slime not being able to help them, the two leave the cave to search Steven by themselves, and the slime tries to leave by hopping, but instead smacks into the wall and slides down.

While Dave and Bart continue to look for Steven, they find him wrapped in spider webs surrounded by cobwebs. Dave then saves him by breaking him free from the cobwebs, but they notice a spider watching them. The other spiders' eyes glow, and a chase begins. They hide in chests where one spider passes by and does not notice them. They hop with the chests once the spider that passed by is not seen, and Dave and Steven connect their chests to form a double chest.

Once they are outside the chests, they continue to run, but are stopped by the spiders. Then, Dave and a spider play a video game on GameBlocks, and Dave defeats the spider by jumping on him. The spider throws the GameBlock to the ground in anger and the chase continues. The three run through a door maze in the mines with the spiders chasing them.

The three then come across a ravine with a long jump to the other side. At the edge of the ravine, Dave throws Steven to the other side, while Bart grabs Dave and jump before teleporting to the other side and carries him, right before Dave grabs Steven and carries him. The spiders reach the edge of the ravine, and when they try to jump to the other side, they fall to their deaths deep down into the ravine.

Steven looks down to see that Dave is carrying him. Everything appears to be fine, but Steven doesn't see the low height of the cave approaching him. Steven is struck head-first by the stone falls off Dave's arms, and the video ends.

## Trivia

* During an unknown date in 2021, this video was deleted from Slamacow Creations' channel. The video can only be viewed on Internet Archive or other channels. Trying to click the link today will give you the error message "**This video isn't available anymore**".
* It is currently unknown what the name of the chase music is, or who composed it.
* Mystery Inc. from Scooby-Doo makes a brief cameo during the chase in the mines.
* This is the only 2014 video where Eddy is in.
* This video was formerly the first video in Season 5 until it was removed.
* This video was made in the background of Steven's animation classes he was taking at the same time.
* After their escape from the spiders, the group should have had to walk through a cave that was 6 blocks tall or more. This should be noted by the fact that Bart is 3 blocks tall, Dave is 2 blocks tall, and Steven, who is also 2 blocks tall, is 2x1 while lying down or being carried.
	+ The opening they walked through was only 5 blocks tall, and this caused Steven to get struck head-first on the stone due to the low height.
* The picture of Steven that Dave shows to the slime is the same pixellated version of him that was used for the transition to the 2nd and final rounds of the SPLEEF tournament in The Game of SPLEEF. Later reused in Where the Forest Ends.
* The original concept of this video was going to have the group start at the cave and be longer than 3 minutes and 23 seconds, but Steven didn't have the time to make another 4-5 minute animation and had to make some changes.
