abstract	When one of Dr. Smith’s experiments almost injures the rest of the party, John is furious. Smith leaves the camp in a huff and sulks. He lies down for a nap, and when he awakens, he finds that he has been taken prisoner by an army of small robots, each of which is a minature duplicate of the Robinsons’ own Robot. When Smith does not return by nightfall, the children are worried, but the adults think Smith is playing on their sympathy. There is a sudden explosion in the camp and the force field generator is destroyed. Don blames Smith, but Will defends him. The next day another explosion destroys the weather station. Don and John blame Smith, but this time the Robot tells them that another force is at work. When John asks what force that is, the Robot refuses to answer, saying that he cannot inform on his own kind. That night a group of mechanical men approaching arrive at the camp. The purple robot demands that the Robinsons hand over their leader, the Robot. When John refuses, the mechanical men demonstrate their power by detonating several bombs. They then offer to exchange their prisoner, Dr. Smith, for the Robot. At the Robot’s insistence, John relents and Will accompanies him to the mechanical men’s cave. The mechanical men soon discover that the Robot is completely unlike them; far from hating humans, he is peace-loving and recommends cooperation with the Robinsons. The purple Robot decides that exchanging the personalities of Dr. Smith and the Robot will give their leader the qualities they desire. Will runs back to the Jupiter 2 to tell his family what has happened. They are about to go and rescue Smith when he suddenly arrives, acting and speaking much like the Robot did. Shortly afterwards, the Robot arrives and demands the Jupiter 2; if the Robinsons do not surrender it, his army will take it by force. That night, the mechanical men stage a sneak attack. The Robinsons are prepared and fight back. When John manages to disable the Robot with a shot from his laser, he is badly damaged. At the same time, the proper personalities of Dr. Smith and the Robot are restored. With their leader gone and their plans in ruins, the mechanical men retreat and leave the planet.
