Synopsis for "The Rich Robot"
Marvel Jr. meets Jingles, a robot built to be a butler to a rich eccentric who eschewed human company. When he died, he left everything to the robot. However Jingles is not satisfied by this state of affairs, as despite his wealth he's feared by everyone he meets due to his inhuman nature. Marvel Jr. attempts to socialize him a few times, which fails, and the robot's own attempts to commit suicide fail due to his mechanical nature. After Marvel Jr. saves the robot from being destroyed by his human creator's deadbeat nephew, he discovers the robot had a hobby of crafting toys, which he gives away to children, finally winning the robot acceptance.
