A powerful Frankenstein robot is activated prematurely, an incident worsened when Skunk persuades the machine to assist in his criminal activities. This collaboration triggers a significant wave of robotic crime throughout the city. In response to the escalating chaos, authorities initiate a system-wide shutdown that results in the deactivation of nearly all robots within the urban area. The widespread power failure also briefly affects Astroboy, halting his operations alongside the other mechanical beings until the situation is resolved.
