I don't remember this one.  My brain is going through the Twilight Zone memory Rolodex and coming up blank.

Trivia: This was not an original screenplay for The Twilight Zone (1959). It's a remake of The Incredible World of Horace Ford (1955), which was a live TV version starring Art Carney and Jason Robards.
The blueprints of Harold's new robot toy are copies of the actual blueprints Bob Kinoshita made for the design of Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet.
