Bozo's creator, von Thorp, returns after freeing himself from prison, and reclaims the robot by inventing a device which overrides Hazzard's own controls. Hazzard overcomes this obstacle by once again hiding in the robot, which returns to the evil doctor's lair. However, this time von Thorp is not fooled, captures Hazzard and throws him into a flooded room, where he survives by using a pipe as a straw to breath fresh air. Hazzard reassumes control of the robot, von Thorp flees and is shot to death by the Police.
