Collins College needs a new department head for their science
department. Doctors Carter and Zorch consult Thinko, the campus
computer, and come up with Dr. Mathilda West, who has degrees in
lots of things, but turns out to be disruptively attractive as
well. Meanwhile two thugs search for Sam Thinko who is muscling
in on the race horse action, the captain of the football team is
having trouble not passing out in front of the opposite sex,
and Admiral McFortune, a benefactor of the college, becomes
attracted to Dr. West, who has a past dangerously close to becoming
public knowledge.

The part of "Thinko" the robot was played by an actual robot "Elektro",
built by Westinghouse in 1937.
Elektro was constructed by the Westinghouse Appliance Division of Mansfield Ohio and only 1 copy was made. The construction of Elektro began in 1937 and was put on public display in early 1939 just before being sent to the New York World's Fair of 1939. He was modified for the movie sex kittens, filling in the circle and putting in the square on his chest for the speaker. It is currently at the Mansfield Memorial Museum. More info
