Quote1 Those who look for demons, will always find them! But those who look for the good and the noble in all nature's creatures will find that, too! I pray that some day man will stop seeking demons below, and will lift his eyes up high -- up to where our destiny lies! Quote2

A scientist creates a computer so sophisticated that it can out think human beings. It hypnotizes the scientist into building it a huge robot body so that it can move and threaten human cities to conquer them. As it gets further from the scientist, the hypnosis fades, and the scientist regains his own will. He rushes Elektro, and enters the robot frame from a small door in its heel, and removes the power source, thus saving humanity.
