You could even (though this is a bit silly) provide the option for people to "hide" sections and then read the whole page and not have to beware of scrolling down too far. It wouldn't be a default option, I don't think, but people could have some optional overlay that would give them the option to select (or omit) bits of the article to create a customised article for them to read.
We already have something similar on the mobile site, for different reasons admittedly. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mousetrap I'm sure it would be easy enough to make an option or a gadget on the main site, if anyone really wanted it
A gadget to fold sections called "Plot", "Plot summary" or "Synopsis" would do the trick. Though not for [[The Mousetrap]], which has the spoiler in another section entirely (well down the page).
You could put a hidden marker that would be mark it as a "plot" section. Like the hidden anchor tags that people put when someone changes a section title but still wants incoming links to the previous title of that section to work (sadly, not done as often as it should be).
