Synopsis:
Jonathan Barclay is an arrogant man who does not accept people from different backgrounds. When he sees Robotman capture two crooks, he calls Robotman a freak. Robotman counters by saying that in a town of robots, Barclay would be the freak.

Moments later, Barclay trips and strikes his head. He falls unconscious and dreams about Robot Town, a city inhabited only by robots. Robotman's statement proves true as the robots ridicule Barclay's humanity. When Barclay regains consciousness, he decides to be more respectful of other people's feelings.
