What are you doing here?

I am not understanding.

Listen.

" Dear Ben, we decided that

the only way we could help...

" ...was to send Number Five.

" He can build your robots,

but you know how...

" ...crazy he is for input,

so keep an eye on him. Good luck.

" Love, Stephanie and Newton."

Benjamin, this is your home,

domicile, flophouse?

Fred, Lady Luck,

she is sitting in our laps today.

She is? I thought you said

this thing misfunctioned on you.

That's a falsity.

What really happened was...

...we were working on him

and suddenly he was struck by lightning.

And from this moment on...

...he has a mind of his own.

So the government tried to destroy him.

So he ran away. So now he is living

with my friend in Montana...

...in a cabin, in the woods, incognito.

Input!

Hound of the Baskervilles.

I think the chauffeur did it.

He did.

Listen very carefully.

I am thinking we should not tell him...

...he is in major metropolitan area.

If he is discovering

he is in a city full of input...

...he will go insanely crazy.

You mean this thing runs by itself?

Thing? An object without life,

a personal possession? Incorrect.

Johnny Five not a thing.

Right. What I mean,

is it remote-controlled, or what?

Well, you would not believe me.

Number Five?

Johnny Five.

Johnny is a very cute name.

-I like it.

-Come here. Come on.

This is my friend, Fred.

Hello, Fred.

-No, over here.

-Right. Sorry.

Perhaps Fred would like

a demonstration of just how...

...you'll help us out of this predicament...

...we are stuck inside of.

-Here, please assemble.

-Sure.

Okay, check diagram, right.

Okay, find tread assembly, right.

Attach serve linkage

to motor and solder there.

Insert tab A into slot B.

Put that down there...

...and don't forget the nernies. Okay...

...and back to this, and that lower boom,

and attach the screws here...

...and tighten A and B, and tighten C, D.

Put the neck assembly down...

...to split wire connectors,

and attach at points X and Y....

It's me! Isn't that special?

We're home free!

It could build them all, right?

What is it?

And now, the next set of parts....

Completed Number 74, Benjamin.

Benjamin?

The government is divided into three trees.

Branches.

We'll return to Tarzan the Fearless

after these messages.

Like I said,

it's the all-new Radio Shack stereo...

...and just look at these prices! I admit it...

...I need therapy.

But till I'm cured, you can save big!

So, come on, take advantage

of Manic Mike's emotional problems.

I just got to sell! I can't help it.

Look at me. I'm in a panic.

I'm frantic and I'm manic!

Wow, nutso.

Interesting human.

It's incredible!

They have got a robot
