Synopsis

The Shah of Freeland is coming to Metro City, and Inspector Gadget is hired to help protect him from MAD Agents. But Dr. Claw and his scientists create a near-exact robot replica of Inspector Gadget, which will rob banks and frame the real Gadget. The old double-trouble gags begin, as Gadget hides out in a farm where the MAD Agents try to make him stay at, and Penny doesn't believe that her "uncle" has turned evil, until she finds out the truth.

End Message: Gadget explains to Penny about the dangers of gas leaks, after accidentally igniting a gas lamp.

Production notes

Alternative titles: "Who Framed Inspector Gadget?", "Inspector Gadget Gets Framed", "Robbery in Metro City", "The Metro City Trial", "Trouble in Metro City", "The Inspector and the Robot", "The Framed Inspector" and "The Shah of Freeland."

Don Adams is said to have quit the series before the end of its run, which left the title character to be voiced by an actor who didn't sound at all like Adams.
