The Vulture uses a sonic device in his head mask to control an army of vultures. After the Vulture beats Spider-Man, he holds the city for a $2,000,000 ransom and J. Jonah Jameson blames Spider-Man. Spider-Man takes the ransom to the Vulture and uses this opportunity to sabotage the Vulture's device so the vultures attack him, then returns the ransom.
