Something wonderful has happened... No. 5 is alive.

After a lightning bolt zaps a robot named Number 5, the lovable machine starts to think he's human and escapes the lab.

In the meantime, a spunky animal lover mistakes the robot for an alien and takes him in, teaching her new guest about life on Earth.
