Synopsis:
Doc Magnus has been turned into a robot by the Sizzler. Professor Snakelocks tries to get control of his creation again, but he fails. The Sizzler then turns him into a robot as well. Doc imprisons Snakelocks, then tries to convince the Sizzler to restore his humanity.

Jealous of the Sizzler, Tina runs away and is kidnapped by Snakelocks's replacement, the Lizard. The Lizard demands that each of the Metal Men bring money to different locations. A trap awaits each one, but they all escape unharmed. Doc brings money to a meeting with the Lizard. The crooks try to shoot him, but Tina escapes and blocks the bullets. Doc defeats the Lizard, then brings Tina back to his lab.

Doc repairs Tina, who is grateful. The Sizzler then restores Doc and Snakelocks to normal. Snakelocks is sent to prison. The Sizzler stays with the Metal Men, despite a feud with Tina over Doc.
