Synopsis:
The Challengers receive a robot as a gift from a scientist named Larue. The robot saves the Challengers from danger, but the team believes it to be a trick. By disguising themselves as the robot, the Challs learn that Larue plans on destroying a military base. Larue escapes before the team can capture him, but the real robot stops the explosion himself, having been programmed to serve the Challengers too well. Finally the team catches Larue and take him into custody for the attempted bombing.
