Joey Jones is a orphaned boy who works in a dinner to support both himself as well as his grandmother. During work Joey sees a commercial of a new robotic toy called Heybo.  Joey believes that getting one will make his life better, turning him into a hero to protect his friends and family. However, he cannot afford to buy it with his salary. One day at school he sees Nick, one of Joey’s bullies, showing of his Heybo. While his friends are all trying to get the remote control from Nick, the Heybo accidently walks onto the road and is hit by a car. Nick deeming the toy worthless now,  throws it in the trash. Joey picks it up and decides he is going to fix the robot, because Joey is positive that his life would become better if he fixed it. 
 

Joey spends days trying to patch up the robot and in the end even manages to get a decent result from all his hard work. The only proble m is that he can’t get it to work. Before Joey is able to enjoy his newfound pride, he notices he is late for work. Joey rushes off to the diner, leaving Heroman under a opened window while a storm is brewing. Whila at work Joey notices the rain and remembers he left the window open, which could probably damage Heroman. Joey rushes to his ho use to close the window. Just as Joey is about to take Heroman, the robot is struck by lightning.
