Gimble has resigned from his commission to spy on Robert's laboratory, and so his assistant, Plummer, has taken his place. Robert's experiments with radio transmissions to his robots only makes things worse.
Robert's funding from the government has been reduced, but it's not all bad news - his robot double, captured by the spies, has been released and returns to the lab. Now all they have to do is stop him overheating.
After finally deducing that the laboratory is being spied on, Eric takes it upon himself to build the centre's first female robot - Desiree, counterspy and "beautiful, irresistible female".
After discovering the full background of the spies, Robert has blackmailed them into coming to work for him as security officers - but can they really be trusted? Desiree uses her robotic powers of seduction to try and find out.
Robert has leased out a small restaurant to test his robots in the cooking trade. There's only one small problem - even the thought of food makes the robots feel nauseous.
Robert is nursing the robots back to health after their exposure to food caused them circuit damage. But his plan to let them recuperate is constantly interrupted by two insistent journalists.
