 Late at night, Dr. Link works on his creation, a powerful robot named Adam Link. Adam goes berserk and murders Dr. Link! Law enforcement issues an order for the robot s destruction, but the dead man s daughter Nina Link hires retired lawyer and full-time curmudgeon Thurman Cutler to defend the machine s rights as if it were a man! Cutler takes the case as much to mock the legal system that has made him a cynic as for any other reason, but can even his brilliant mind save Adam Link from destruction?
