Synopsis:
Professor Harmon creates a robot named Percy. A gang of criminals tries to steal the robot, but Superboy stops them. Harmon leaves the robot in Superboy's care, but its devotion to the Boy of Steel soon proves to be a nuisance. Superboy orders the robot to remain in the lab to prevent it from causing more harm.

The crooks return to the lab and trick the robot into giving them a secret combination that will let them create an army of robots. Superboy learns of their plan and stops them. Superboy then asks all the robot to go to the moon where they can't cause trouble on Earth.
