|Unlike it's liberal predecessor, this movie is pro-capitalism. Ben Jahvri, one of the co-creators of the No. 5 robot, is now a vendor attempting to sell his robot toys on the streets of New York. When an employee of a major toy company, Sandy Banatoni, Ben's love interest, becomes interested in his toys, Ben teams up with another capitalist named Fred Ritter (played by Michael Mckean) to produce 1000 of the toy robots. After a break-in scares of Fred's workers, No. 5, now known as Johnny Five, comes to New York to help Ben.
This movie is also pro-assimilation, Ben is shown working hard and studying to pass the test required for US citizenship (a test which most native-born US citizens couldn't pass). At the end of the movie, Ben is shown taking the Vow of Citizenship, along with Johnny Five who is being recognized as the first robotic citizen of the US.
