This is a weird one, the robots involved in the printing & minting of $$ are eventually equipped with legs and heads, & go out for a weekend of fun at the amusement park. But that comes later.









This guy has a legitimate withdrawal slip




This DOPEY guy does not, but tries anyway.


The safe (J: 'Kinko') captures him & puts him in its own jail.




Here is the counting / wrapping robot. I have a cute sequence that would make a cool animated gif, if anyone is interested, PM me with your email address & I will send you the images.




Here are the legs & heads.

Another cute animation, here, as Kinko-san waddles along while everyone sings.


Leap-frog!



...


The bad guys have captured Kinko, & expect to open his vault.






They use this simpleton robot to hopefully aid the theft.




So, it ends with all the crooks in Kinko's jail.

That is so funny - Kinko -- like the office supply store?!! This is pretty far out stuff -- kinda makes you wonder if ol' Osamu dabbled in the wacky tobaccy!

I like him leapfrogging over little Astro!

I sent a few sequences of frames to another member; hopefully, he will post the animated gifs he makes.

Jeffbert, where do you find all these episodes that never made it to the US?

I bought the 193 episodes on 2 boxed sets from cd Japan.

A funny episode for sure! Thanks for the pics, Jeffbert!
"Kinko" would provide a sweet name, apart from just being the japanese word for 'safe'.

...and probably his whole staff too.

Well chosen name then! I hope they put some funny music in this episode!

Thanks for sharing!
