Innocuous sequel to a painless original has anthropomorphic android Number 5 trying to make it in the big city and meeting would-be toymaker McKean, who's interested in the robot's marketing potential. Passing character actor Jack Weston supplies the comic-book villainry. Formula fodder, but by no means the worst of its kind.
