Five-year-old Gloria Weston is altogether too fond of her mute robot nursemaid, Robbie, at least so far as her mother is concerned. After much badgering, she gets her husband to return Robbie to US Robots, but Gloria is distraught and refuses to be comforted. They go on a trip to distract her, and while there, her father suggests taking Gloria to the factory where she can see robots being made. That might teach her that Robbie was just a machine, not a person, and help her get over him. Secretly, he’s arranged for her to see Robbie in the hopes that her subsequent delight will convince his wife to bring Robbie home. The plan succeeds, to a point—Gloria is so delighted to see Robbie that she rushes towards him and is nearly killed before anybody (but Robbie) can react. Her mother, grateful that Robbie saved her life, reluctantly lets him back.
