Filipinos in the 60s were already swooning and rooting for a local Pinoy superhero even before Marvel legendary comic superhero Spiderman and another Pinoy superhero Captain Barbell came into being. The character, Gagamba, created by Virgilio and Nestor Redondo was first serialized in Tagalog Klasiks in 1962. It was introduced into the silver screen the same year in the movie titled Bakas ng Gagamba. Action star Bernard Bonnin, after a successful stint as Alyas Palos portrayed the role of Alyas Gagamba. It was followed by three sequels: Palos Kontra Gagamba (1963), Ang Lihim ni Gagamba (1964) and Gagamba at si Scorpio (1969).

It’s one for all and all for one for the Albano Brothers, Arturo, Abel, Alberto, Angel and Antonio, who all grew up to be fine, young and good-looking men with good moral values, thanks to their father, Mang Andres, a principled man, played by Oscar Keesee, who reared them straight as a single parent.

It tells of the five siblings, who were all confronted with a series of encounters and misadventures--- some petty fights, courtships, etc. It's all fun, full of action and exciting scenes!
