Through a fault in manufacturing, a robot, RB-34 (also known as Herbie), is created that possesses telepathic abilities. While Susan Calvin the roboticist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men investigate how this occurred, the robot tells her what other people are thinking about her.
As such Herbie the robot, due to his mind-reading abilities, begins to lie to people to make them happy, violating the Three Laws of Robotics. Calvin initially trusts the robot, but is later confronted with the fact that Herbie has been lying to her about the affections of a coworker, Milton Ashe. When Herbie is confronted with the truth, he experiences a logical conflict and becomes catatonic.
