Synopsis for "Mister Morgan's Monster"Edit

In the year 2090 an inventor creates a robot as a prototype for public servants but the populace distrusts them and he is made to destroy them. He accepts the pronouncement, but secretly hides one away underground. He tells it to remain here until the day humanity no longer fears. Alien invaders are observing the creature and wish to capture it and duplicate it to create an invasion force. They use hypno gas to knock the humans out and order the machine to follow them, but it refuses, staying loyal to its creator. A struggle ensues, and they bind the robot with chains and drag it towards their spaceship. The struggle has consumed so much time that the humans are waking up and the aliens realize they don't have time to make it back to the ship so they blow themselves up as to keep the invasion plan secret. The inventor finds his sole remaining robot outside and tells his wife that she was right, and that the machine could not be trusted. Unnoticed, a single tear falls down the face of the deactivated android.
