* PoliceAreUseless: Police on the lookout for a runaway girl and her robot friend are somehow foiled at every turn whenever the pair are located. When they do, they also do nothing to stop Dr. Finkel from endangering Suzie and Mata's lives anddestroying store property; or a flood of kids rushing past them, trampling Dr. Finkel in the process. The most they do is keep Suzie's parents back from the scene.

Susie's parents have taken her on a trip to Japan as they visit her uncle Tetsuro, a roboticist. Bored and with no-one to play with, Susie discovers a robot that's somewhat human-like: it talks with a simple voice, can do all sorts of things, and wants to play. After accidentally naming it "Too Much" ("TM" for short), Susie grows very fond of the robot.

However, all things must come to an end, and Susie is told the vacation is over and she'll need to go back home. She sneaks out with Too Much, and they end up being chased around Tokyo by the police, concerned citizens, and rival roboticists.
