Abner has exciting news for Lum. He figured out that their robot can lift heavy sacks of feed better than any one human. Lum has been studying up on the diagram that Dr Drill left, and has concluded that the robot is a working machine, and its name isn’t Robert.
Why can’t they keep on calling him Robert? And why can’t they put him to work on all the mundane chores around the store? Lum is afraid of the reaction Robert might get from folks in town. They might also run into government regulations over putting the mechanical man to work. Not to mention child labor laws. Robert is shiny and new. He can’t be more than a year old.
When Cedric enters, he brings a letter from Dr Drill. The inventor is oN the way to reclaim the box left in their safe keeping. How will Cedric react to Robert? Abner puts the robot through its paces, but he still needs to learn how to use the remote control. Lets hope Abner doesn’t get too carried away.
