An alien race wants to invade Earth, but before they do so they send a scout down to find out all the U.S.' military secrets. Transferring his mind into a robot, the alien dazzles the humans until he is taken to Washington to be inspected. While he is being examined by day, he spies on the military at night, until one day, gathering all that they can from the robot, a scientist presses a button on its head, deactivating it and trapping the alien in the robot's body forever.
