Synopsis:
Inventor Doc Payne approaches Robotman, asking him to try his newly invented atomotor. Robotman declines, but the inventor installs the atomic powered motor anyway. When Payne turns the motor on, Robotman is unable to control himself. He also finds that he is far faster and more powerful. He then begins to run around the world, out of control.

Robotman finally decides to smash himself into a huge boulder to stop his momentum. The plan works, but his body is destroyed. A farmer finds Robotman's head and mails it to a repair shop where Robotman gets a new body. Payne then gives up his atomotor idea.
