Synopsis:
Criminal scientist Professor Ripari is released from prison. He has devised a scheme to use Robotman in several robberies. First he lures the hero to a warehouse trap. Using magnets, Ripari paralyzes Robotman, then rewires him. Ripari then leaves.

When Robotman gets free he goes after Ripari. However, the wiring changes cause Robotman to malfunction and actually help Ripari stage robberies. Robotman realizes what has happened so he compensates for the errors. He is then able to catch the crook and his gang. Robotman then disables himself until permanent repairs can be made.
