Synopsis:
Robotman tracks escaped killer Vince Harding on Sutu Island, the now-abandoned site of a major battle in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. After a booby-trap wrecks his communications link with the Chief, Robotman's metal body is destroyed piece-by-piece as he escapes one deathtrap after another. Finally, even though armless and legless, he manages to pin Harding and hold him till his teammates arrive to rescue him.
