Overview

After KAOS incapacitates American athletes at an international track meet, Hymie is entered as a substitute competitor for the Free World.

ASFR Content

Hymie's artificial capabilities are central to the comedy: his electronic brain detects sabotage, poison that would harm humans merely cleans his tubes, and his mechanical strength produces impossible athletic results. KAOS eventually uses a special lipstick battery deactivator on him, draining his power just before the final race. He runs on a replacement portable-radio battery but loses power again just short of the finish.
