Double Trouble

Robert and his robots prepare for their first commercial venture, in the world of fashion. With two important clothes buyers due to visit the next day, Robert plans to use his androids, his fiancée, Angela, and his new robot duplicate of himself as models in the parade, while giving Eric the task of making all the outfits for the show. However, Eric – now back to his usual bad-tempered self and malfunctioning with stress from all the work he has been given – soon decides to form a robots’ union and call his comrades out on strike. Meanwhile, rubbish spies Marken and Gimble intercept a phone call from the buyers, cancelling their appointment; immediately seeing an opportunity to learn Robert’s secrets, the two agents decide to take their place. The next day, a disguised Marken and Gimble meet with Robert, only to learn that instead of electrical products, they are there to see a new range of clothing. When Marken then activates a jamming device as part of a ploy to learn the location of Robert’s electronic engineering secrets, all the robots malfunction, including the duplicate of the inventor himself – ensuring that the spies get to see a fashion parade that they will never forget..
