- Gyro Gearloose builds a robot that can do anything efficiently and effectively. Then it goes berserk and takes over Scrooge's empire.
- Gyro Gearloose invents a robot, Armstrong, which can not only perform household tasks perfectly, but can run Scrooge's businesses like clockwork and out-fly Launchpad. However, Launchpad and the boys become Scrooge and Gyro's only hope when Armstrong goes rogue and decides to take over his masters' lives.—crouchbk
- Gyro Gearloose has invented a revolutionary robot named Armstrong. Scrooge becomes so enamored with the robot, that it soon ends up becoming an integral part of his household. While almost everyone seems enamored with Armstrong, Launchpad McQuack claims that machines can't do everything.
This leads to Launchpad and Armstrong squaring off in a flying competition. Launchpad looks to win, until he crashes into a barn. In the aftermath of the race, Scrooge and Gyro plan to mass-produce Armstrong robots for mass comsumption.
Scrooge also sends all his employees working at the money bin home, and has Armstrong handle all the daily tasks. Falling asleep, Scrooge awakens to find the vault door to his bin open. He breathes easier seeing only Armstrong inside, but suddenly grows terrified when Armstrong's eyes glow red, and the seemingly docile robot turns on him.
Armstrong then takes Scrooge to Gyro's, where he imprisons both ducks, and uses Gyro's technological devices to take control of numerous devices and gadgets.
Back at the mansion, Duckworth informs the newphews that Scrooge didn't return home, and that Armstrong is also gone. Thinking that they may be at Gyro's, they call the inventor's phone, only to be rebuked by Armstrong mimicking Gyro's voice, claiming he is 'busy and not to be disturbed.'
The boys find it strange that Gyro would talk to them like this, and go to investigate. On their way there, they encounter toy tanks and helicopters that fly around them, before having their bikes zapped by an electrified fence outside Gyro's.
Sure that Scrooge and Gyro are being held captive inside by Armstrong, the boys go to Launchpad for help. Launchpad feels that they can get past Armstrong's defenses in his airplane, which has no fancy electronics. However, their attempt is almost ruined by a pair of interceptor jets, before Launchpad dodges them, and lands on Gyro's roof, destroying the communications equipment.
Armstrong rushes outside to stop Launchpad, but is destroyed when a supply of water in Launchpad's plane splashes over him. With the rogue robot destroyed, things return to normal.
