Wacky Machine

Professor I. Q. Plenty startled a group of greedy plant owners by announcing that he had perfected the very thing they were seeking: a Robot Wacky Inducer - a machine that could actually make troublesome robots wacky, and therefore harmless. All Professor Plenty asked for his machine was an annual rental fee of 50 million dollars! The plant owners accepted. Next, the Professor went to Doctor Elefun and offered to withdraw his machine, a device that could affect every robot in the city - including Astro Boy - for a mere 80 million dollars! Doctor Elefun refused to be intimidated and Professor Plenty made good his threat. He turned on the Wacky Inducer and every robot within a 100-mile radius was rendered feeble. But not Astro Boy, for at the boy's own request he was dismantled by Doctor Elefun so that he would not be a robot while the machine was operating. Once the machine stopped for a periodic shutdown, however, Astro Boy was quickly re-assembled. He knew what he had to do: find the machine hidden somewhere in the vast city, and destroy it before it destroyed him - all this in the course of two minutes. Just 120 seconds! He found the machine, all right, but attempting to overcome all the hidden obstacles Professor Plenty had planted in his path becams one of Astro Boy's greatest and most unique adventures!
