Il robot "Numero 5" è stato progettato con altri suoi simili come macchina da guerra. Quando viene casualmente colpito da un fulmine fugge dalla fabbrica e si rifugia in casa di una simpatica ragazza. Dopo aver ingurgitato un'infinità di nozioni da libri e mass media, "Numero 5" si accorge di essere "vivo", ma i suoi progettisti, la multinazionale che l'ha fabbricato e un pattuglione di soldati armati fino ai denti lo braccano.
