Ronald Rayte is scheduled for execution after killing his brother. Robotman obtains a confession from the real killer, Ace Spaid. As he rushes to stop the execution, Robotman is damaged. He can't remember where he placed the evidence that would clear Rayte. Robotman tracks down the governor to ask him to pardon the innocent convict. Robotman asks the governor to strike his head. The blow restores Robotman's memory. He then produces the missing evidence, and the governor pardons Rayte.
