Bertha Snodgrass is a
cute little girl who lives on a hidden island. One day, Edweard Snoop
hops on a ferry and ends up on the island. His job is to put up postings
about a big sale and auction for "negro" slaves. Bertha and Dr. Wong
confront Edweard and are about to take him back to the mainland when the
mayor, Alexander Hamilton Snodgrass, shows up. The men talk some
business and hop on the ferry back to the mainland.
Stewart, a giant of
a man who works for Dr. Wong, awaits the time he can give Edweard a
potion that will kill him, but ends up drinking just a drop or two, so
Edweard does not die, but is only a little groggy. Meanwhile, the mayor
returns to the island and contacts Carter, a local rich man, and wants
to know about the "thing." The things, as it turns out, is a large
mechanical man.
Back on the mainland, Bertha has been secretly following Edweard as he staggers home to meet his boss, the slave auctioneer. They
discover her and Bertha offers to buy a slave so she can set it free.
But the money from her island is no good there, and she ends up helping
the slave escape and they head back to the island. Things start to go
hinky jinky as the robot gets loose, the mayor loses his memory, and the
boss sends a ruthless bandit to get his slave back.
