A man awakens to find himself on a lab table, with two scientists looking down at him. They tell him his name is Peter and they give him an assignment to kill another man. Peter commits the murder, unquestioningly. Peter is then given a similarly amnesiac companion for another killing, but something goes wrong. His companion is shot, but there's no blood! When Peter arrives back at the lab, he overhears the scientists boasting that their new creations would allow them to rule the world. Peter realizes he's nothing more than a robot, and that moment of insight prompts him to kill his creators.
