The United Earth Ship Enterprise has been mapping star systems for three days at the edge of explored space when it encounters a cube-shaped device on an intercept course. Captain Kirk orders it destroyed when the device begins emitting lethal radiation. The Enterprise then encounters a spherical ship nearly a mile in diameter, whose commander, Balok, identifies it as the flagship Fesarius of the First Federation. Balok disables all of the Enterprise's systems and threatens to destroy the ship.
Kirk bluffs that the Enterprise contains a secret device called Corbomite that will destroy both ships if Balok attacks. Balok then uses a smaller ship launched from the Fesarius to start towing the Enterprise to a First Federation world where the crew will be interned. The Enterprise uses maximum engine power to break free of Balok's tractor beam, and Balok sends out a distress signal.
Kirk beams over to the alien ship with Dr. McCoy and Lt. Bailey, the Enterprise navigator. They learn that Balok is a small, harmless humanoid who was only testing the Enterprise crew to see if they had hostile intentions. Balok has no crew; he runs the entire Fesarius himself, but he asks for a member of the Enterprise crew to remain aboard his ship for companionship. Lt. Bailey volunteers for the cultural exchange, and Kirk agrees.

The U.S.S. Enterprise pursues an unidentified Class-J cargo ship into an asteroid belt. After the cargo ship's engines overload, the Enterprise beams aboard its captain, calling himself Leo Francis Walsh, and three beautiful women; the Enterprise burns out all but one lithium crystal in the rescue attempt. The Enterprise heads for a lithium mining operation on Rigel Twelve less than two days away.
Captain Kirk learns that the real Captain Walsh is dead, and his identity was assumed by Harcourt Fenton 'Harry' Mudd, who was operating the cargo ship illegally to transport wives for settlers on Ophiuchus Three. With his long criminal record, Mudd is confined to quarters, but he secretly contacts the lithium miners and talks them into trading lithium crystals for Mudd's women as wives.
With the Enterprise's last lithium crystal burned out, Kirk is forced to agree to Mudd's arrangement; the three women get to stay with the miners, and the Enterprise gets its needed crystals, but Kirk takes Mudd into custody to turn him over to authorities.

The U.S.S. Enterprise makes a routine stop at a remote archaeological outpost, on Planet M-One Hundred Thirteen, to check on the health of Professor Bob Crater and his wife, Nancy, who are studying the ruins of an ancient and long-dead civilization. The Craters request a supply of salt tablets, and Captain Kirk becomes suspicious after several Enterprise crewmen are killed and their bodies are found drained of salt.
The Enterprise crew discovers that Professor Crater's wife was killed a year ago by the last of the planet's native creatures, who can read people's minds and assume the image of another person. The creature has been impersonating Nancy Crater, and needs salt to survive. Dr. McCoy is forced to kill the creature before it kills Captain Kirk to drain salt from his body.

The Enterprise is in orbit of Psi 2000 -- an ancient world that is now frozen and disintegrating -- to pick up a scientific party and observe the disintegration of the planet. But the landing party finds the science team dead, including one fully clothed man in a shower, and the station's life support systems deactivated. When the landing party returns to the Enterprise, crew members begin behaving as if intoxicated. Lt. Riley locks himself in Engineering and shuts down power to the engines.
Dr. McCoy isolates the pathogen to a complex chain of water molecules and develops an antidote. Spock and Scott are able to use a new intermix formula to cold-start the engines and escape from orbit before the planet's gravity field collapses. This gravity slingshot effect knocks the Enterprise into a time warp, sending it 71 hours into the past. Spock suggests that since the formula worked, they could use the time warp effect to travel to any point in the past someday.

The Enterprise meets the cargo vessel Antares to pick up Charles Evans, a human boy found alone on the planet Thasus, where he has lived since age 3 as the only survivor of a transport crash 14 years ago. His closest relatives are on Colony Alpha Five, and the Enterprise is heading that way. The Antares is destroyed shortly after it departs, and other mysterious phenomena start occurring throughout the Enterprise after Charles Evans comes aboard.
The Enterprise crew learns that Charles Evans has acquired the Thasians' reputed powers of transmutation -- the ability to control matter with his mind -- and he takes control of the ship's operations, locking it on course for Colony Alpha Five, until one of the non-corporeal Thasians comes to take the boy back to Thasus, where he cannot do any more damage with the powers the Thasians gave him to survive.

Captain Kirk is preparing to perform the wedding ceremony of Angela Martine and Robert Tomlinson, two crew members under his command, but is interrupted by a distress call from an Earth outpost under attack by an unknown ship.
The Enterprise approaches the outposts guarding the Neutral Zone between planets Romulus and Remus and the rest of the galaxy. After another outpost is destroyed by a high-energy plasma weapon, the Enterprise detects a cloaked Romulan ship moving away, and follows on a parallel course.
Spock is able to lock on to a visual transmission from the Romulan ship, and the crew sees that Romulans resemble Spock's Vulcan race. The Romulan ship is running at impulse speed, so the Enterprise is able to catch up to it, and outrun its plasma weapon at warp speed.
Kirk is able to anticipate the Romulan Commander's strategy and the Enterprise seriously damages the Romulan ship. The Romulan Commander destroys his ship rather than be captured. The only Enterprise crewman to die in the battle is Tomlinson, who was supposed to get married that morning.

The U.S.S. Enterprise arrives at planet Exo-III to search for Dr. Roger Korby, who has been out of contact for five years. Captain Kirk beams down to the planet's underground ruins with Nurse Christine Chapel, who was engaged to Korby before his disappearance.
They learn that an android called Ruk, who was left by the "old ones" centuries ago to tend the machinery, is working with Korby, and that members of Korby's staff are also androids, created with technology Korby found on the planet. Korby refuses to let Kirk and Chapel return to the Enterprise until he has had a chance to explain the importance of his discovery.
Korby creates an android duplicate of Kirk, and plans to use the Enterprise to travel to other planets and secretly create more androids, who can be programmed without unpredictable emotions, ending war and suffering in the galaxy. But the real Kirk makes Ruk remember how the androids on the planet destroyed their creators, the "old ones," because they were inconsistent and unpredictable. Kirk convinces Ruk that Korby is also a danger to the planet's order, and Korby is forced to destroy Ruk.
When Kirk and Korby struggle over a phaser, Korby's hand is damaged and Kirk and Chapel learn he is an android. He was duplicated years ago with the planet's technology when the real Korby was frozen and near death. When the Korby android learns that his dream of perfection is not possible, he destroys himself and the last other remaining android. With her fiancé dead, Nurse Chapel decides to continue serving aboard the Enterprise.

The U.S.S. Enterprise is transporting cargo to the Tantalus Penal Colony on Tantalus Five. The crew beams up a crate containing classified research material bound for the Central Bureau of Penology at Stockholm, but one of the penal colony's prisoners has stowed away in the crate, and gets loose aboard the Enterprise.
The Enterprise crew captures the man, and learns that he is Dr. Simon Van Gelder, a director at the Tantalus Colony, assigned there six months ago as an associate of Dr. Tristan Adams. The Enterprise returns to Tantalus Five and Captain Kirk beams down to investigate the penal colony with Dr. Helen Noel, a member of McCoy's staff with psychiatric and penology experience. Dr. Adams tells them that Dr. Van Gelder's mind was damaged while experimenting with a mind-control beam on himself. Kirk and Dr. Noel later sneak into the treatment room to experiment with the beam themselves, but they are captured by Dr. Adams, who uses the beam on Captain Kirk.
Aboard the Enterprise, Spock uses an ancient Vulcan technique to probe into Van Gelder's tortured mind, requiring him to make pressure changes in Van Gelder's nerves and blood vessels by touching his face.
In the penal colony, Dr. Noel is able to crawl through an air duct to the power control room and disable power to the colony's security screens, allowing Spock to beam down with a security team. With the power off, Kirk knocks out Adams and escapes from the mind-control beam. Dr. Adams is alone under the beam when power is restored and, with no instructions for his blank mind, he is dead by the time anyone finds him.
Dr. Van Gelder is left in charge of the penal colony, and he dismantles the device in the treatment room.

The U.S.S. Enterprise detects an old Earth-style S.O.S. signal from the third planet in a nearby solar system -- a planet that is an exact duplicate of Earth. Captain Kirk leads a landing party to the planet, in a city where the signal originated. The landing party is attacked by a childlike, mutated humanoid, which quickly dies from an accelerated metabolism.
The landing party finds a girl named Miri and several other children who have been living on the duplicate-Earth for 300 years, since all the adults on the planet died after a life-prolongation vaccine was tested in the twentieth century. The children have prolonged lives, but when they reach puberty, they develop skin lesions and they mutate before going insane and dying. The members of the landing party, except Spock, quickly develop skin lesions, and they have only a few days to find a cure before they die from the disease, and the remaining children on the planet will eventually starve with no adults to provide food.
Spock and Dr. McCoy find a cure with equipment beamed down from the Enterprise, and after leaving a medical team on the planet with the children, Captain Kirk contacts Space Central to send teachers and advisers to take care of the children.

Captain Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise are diverted to Planet Q, to meet Dr. Thomas Leighton, who claims to have discovered a new synthetic food that would end the threat of famine on Signia Minor, a nearby Earth colony, but when they arrive, Kirk learns that Leighton lured the Enterprise there because he recognized an actor in a touring troupe as former Governor Kodos of Tarsus Four -- also known as Kodos the Executioner -- who butchered over four thousand people and has been assumed dead for years.
Twenty years ago on Earth colony Tarsus Four, home to over eight thousand colonists, the food supply was destroyed by an exotic fungus. Governor Kodos declared martial law, and separated the colonists; half would live and share the remaining food, and the rest were immediately put to death. When Earth forces arrived, a burned body was found and assumed to be Kodos, and the case was closed.
Now Dr. Leighton believes Kodos has assumed the identity of Anton Karidian, director and star of a travelling company of actors sponsored by the Galactic Cultural Exchange Project, touring official installations over the last nine years, along with his nineteen-year-old daughter, Lenore Karidian.
After he finds Dr. Leighton murdered, Captain Kirk contacts Captain John Daley of the Astral Queen, the starship transporting the actors, and asks Daley not to pick them up. Kirk then offers to transport the actors to their next performance at the Benecia Colony, while secretly researching the identity of Anton Karidian.
Kirk learns that of the Tarsus Four survivors, there were nine eyewitnesses who could identify Kodos, including Kirk, Dr. Leighton, E. Moulton, D. Eames, and Lt. Kevin Riley, who is assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise Communications section. All but Kirk and Riley have been killed, and after someone tries to poison Riley and sets a phaser on overload in Kirk's quarters, Kirk confronts Karidian, but eventually learns that Karidian's daughter, Lenore, has killed the seven witnesses, trying to protect her father from his past. When Lenore tries to shoot Kirk, she accidentally kills her father, then suffers a mental breakdown, remembering nothing.

After a severe ion storm on Stardate 2945.7, in which records officer Lt. Commander Ben Finney was lost, the U.S.S. Enterprise stops at Starbase Eleven for repairs. The portmaster, Commodore Stone, reviews Captain Kirk's deposition, in which he states that the sensor pod in which Finney was working had to be jettisoned after Red Alert was sounded during the ion storm. But when the Enterprise computer record shows that Kirk ejected the pod before Red Alert, Commodore Stone convenes a court martial charging Captain Kirk with negligence in Finney's death.
Lt. Commander Spock discovers that the computer has been reprogrammed, and after the Enterprise is evacuated, Finney is found hiding in Engineering, having framed Kirk for his death because Kirk's report years earlier held back Finney's career. When Kirk and Finney served together on the United Star Ship Republic NCC-1371, Finney was reprimanded for a mistake that Ensign Kirk discovered.

Part One
Commander Spock tells Captain Kirk that they have been summoned to Starbase Eleven by Fleet Captain Christopher Pike, the former commander of the U.S.S. Enterprise, but when they arrive at the starbase, Commodore Mendez tells them that no message has been sent from there -- especially by Pike, who is unable to talk. During an inspection tour of a cadet vessel -- an old Class-J starship -- one of the baffle plates ruptured, and Pike was disfigured by delta rays while bringing out the surviving cadets. He now cannot move or speak; he is kept alive artificially in a mechanical chair, able to communicate only with a blinking light on the chair.
While Captain Kirk talks to Commodore Mendez, Spock takes command of the Enterprise and leaves orbit under falsified orders, heading for Talos Four. General Order 7 states that no vessel under any condition, emergency or otherwise, is to visit Talos Four. To do so is the only death penalty left on the books. (The only starship to visit the world was the Enterprise under Captain Pike.) Kirk and Mendez takes a shuttle in pursuit of the Enterprise, and when they reach the ship, Spock is arrested, but he has placed the ship's course under computer control, locked on a course for Talos Four.
Spock requests an immediate court martial, during which he presents as evidence a detailed video record of an Enterprise mission 13 years ago, during which Spock served as science officer under Captain Pike.
After a fight on Rigel Seven -- where Captain Pike's yeoman and two others were killed, and seven injured, while Pike was trapped in a fortress and attacked by an armored warrior -- the United Space Ship Enterprise was heading to the Vega Colony to take care of its sick and injured, when it received a distress signal from the S.S. Columbia, which disappeared near the Talos star group 18 years earlier. The fourth of 11 planets in the Talos system was Class-M, with an oxygen atmosphere. When the Enterprise arrived at Talos Four, Captain Pike led a landing party to the planet, where they found a group of survivors from the Columbia, but Pike was soon captured and taken to an underground complex, and the landing party learned that the survivors were an illusion.
When he learns that the video display that they are watching is a transmission from Talos Four, Commodore Mendez calls a recess in the court martial, but the ship is still locked on course for the forbidden planet.
Part Two
With the U.S.S. Enterprise locked on a course to the forbidden planet Talos Four, and Commander Spock on trial for mutiny, Commodore Mendez reconvenes the court martial. They continue watching the video transmissions from Talos Four of Captain Pike's original mission to the planet.
Pike was captured by the Talosians and held in an underground menagerie with a human woman named Vina, the sole survivor of the S.S. Columbia. The telepathic Talosians use Pike's memories and dreams to create illusions for him, including his battle against the Kaylar on Rigel Seven two weeks ago. Pike learned that the Talosians fled underground due to war thousands of centuries ago, and developed advanced mental powers, but eventually they lost the ability to maintain the machines running their planet. Pike was captured so he and Vina could breed a race of human slaves for the Talosians, but Pike resisted and the Talosians realized that humans could not live in captivity. The Talosians allowed Captain Pike and the Enterprise crew to leave, but Vina remained behind because she was horribly disfigured when her ship crashed, and only with the Talosians' mental powers could she have the illusion of normal life.
Once the Enterprise reaches Talos Four and the court martial is over, Captain Kirk learns that the presence of Commodore Mendez on board was an illusion, and the court martial was created to distract him so he would not stop the Enterprise from reaching the planet. The Talosians have been transmitting the images to Starbase Eleven, and with Pike's importance to Starfleet, Commodore Mendez makes an exception to General Order 7, and allows Fleet Captain Pike to live out his life on Talos Four, where he can live unfettered by his disfigured body.

After three months, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise is in need of a rest. Dr. McCoy and Lt. Sulu explore an uninhabited planet in the Omicron Delta region as a candidate for shore leave, but McCoy sees a white rabbit followed by a blond girl from "Alice in Wonderland," and Sulu finds an antique revolver.
Captain Kirk explores the planet, and encounters Finnegan, an upperclassman who picked on Kirk when he was at the Academy, and he meets Ruth, an old girlfriend. Other members of the landing party see animals and historical figures.
The landing party meets the Caretaker of the planet, which was designed as an amusement park for the Caretaker's advanced race, creating simulations of whatever someone is thinking. At the Caretaker's invitation, the Enterprise crew uses the amusement planet for its shore leave.

The U.S.S. Enterprise is crossing a void in space 900 light years from Earth, delivering supplies to Colony Beta Six, when an unknown planet appears in front of the ship and Captain Kirk and Lt. Sulu vanish off the Bridge.
Commander Spock sends a landing party to the planet to search for the missing officers, and they find them in a castle on the planet owned by a man named Squire Trelane, who calls the planet Gothos. Trelane's castle is decorated from an Earth period 900 years ago, as he has made a hobby of observing Earth across 900 light years.
Trelane has technology to manipulate matter and energy, and has created an Earthlike environment around his castle on the otherwise uninhabitable planet. He holds the Enterprise crew on the planet for his own amusement, until he is confronted by the disembodied voices of his elders, scolding him for his treatment of his new "pets." Trelane is sent away, and his elders allow Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew to continue on their mission to Colony Beta Six.

Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are invited to an Earth observation outpost on Cestus Three by Commodore Travers, who is famous for his hospitality, but when they beam down, they discover that the outpost has been destroyed and the invitation was faked. They come under attack from cold-blooded creatures with disruptors, but are able to drive them off.
The Enterprise pursues the alien ship past an uncharted star system at position 2-4-6-6-P-M, when the Enterprise is scanned from the star system, and both ships are stopped by an alien force calling itself the Metrons.
The Metrons decide to end the hostilities between the Enterprise and the Gorn ship by transporting the captains of both ships to an asteroid created as an arena for them to fight to the death. Captain Kirk finds minerals on the surface that he uses to make gunpowder, and constructs a projectile weapon that injures the Gorn captain. When Kirk decides to spare the Gorn's life, the Metrons are impressed by his display of mercy, and suggest that humans may be ready to contact the Metrons in a thousand years.
Kirk is returned to the Enterprise, which is instantly transported 500 parsecs across the galaxy.

The U.S.S. Enterprise is investigating a lifeless, uncharted planet when violent force waves disrupt the entire quadrant of space. At the same time, a human is detected on the planet. Captain Kirk leads a landing party to the planet, and finds a crazed man named Lazarus, who claims to be chasing a monster who destroyed his planet.
Starfleet Command determines that the effect originating at the planet is causing complete disruption of normal magnetic and gravimetric fields, time warp distortions, and possible radiation variations in every quadrant of the galaxy. Starfleet Command orders the Enterprise to investigate the phenomenon while all other Starfleet personnel within 100 parsecs are evacuated.
Two dilithium crystals are stolen, and Lazarus claims that his enemy took them. Lazarus asks for more crystals so he can destroy the threat. Commander Spock detects an unexplained radiation source on the planet, but nothing else is detected. Lazarus says that his vehicle on the planet is a time ship, and he is a time traveller chasing his enemy through time, and this dead planet was once his home before it was destroyed.
Kirk and Spock theorize that the enemy Lazarus is chasing is his double from a parallel, antimatter universe, which causes the space disruptions when a link opens between the two universes. Lazarus steals two dilithium crystals and returns to his ship on the planet, but Kirk follows him and the ship transports Kirk into the antimatter universe, where he meets the more rational, antimatter double of Lazarus.
The double tells Kirk that his people discovered a corridor to travel between two universes, but Lazarus became insane knowing he had a double in another universe, and is obsessed with destroying the double. If they ever meet one another in either universe, the meeting of matter and antimatter would destroy the universe, so Kirk returns to his own universe and forces Lazarus into the corridor between universes, where his antimatter double is waiting, and the two of them remain there battling for eternity, keeping both universes safe.

The U.S.S. Enterprise is en route to Starbase Nine for resupply when a black star of high gravitational attraction starts dragging the ship toward it. The Enterprise uses all its warp power in reverse to escape the black star's gravity, but the breakaway sends the Enterprise through space and time into Earth's atmosphere in the late 1960s, before the first manned Moon shot next Wednesday.
A United States Air Force pilot, Captain John Christopher, investigates the Enterprise as a U.F.O., and records its image on his jet fighter's wing camera. The Enterprise uses its tractor beam on the air craft, but it begins to break up, so the pilot is beamed aboard.
Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew must recover Captain Christopher's flight film from an Air Force base, and find a way to return to the future without polluting the timeline. Lt. Commander Spock's research indicates that Captain John Christopher will have a son, Colonel Sean Jeffrey Christopher, who will fly the first mission to Saturn, so the Enterprise must return Captain Christopher to his proper place in history before returning to the future.
The Enterprise uses another slingshot effect, flying toward the Sun and pulling away at full power, in order to create another time warp, and while doing so, Captain Christopher is beamed back into his jet at the point in time before he spotted the Enterprise, and the Enterprise returns to its own time and makes contact with Starfleet Control.

While the U.S.S. Enterprise orbits planet Beta Three in Star System C-111, investigating the disappearance of the starship Archon there 100 years ago, Lt. Sulu returns from a scouting mission in an altered mental state, and Lt. O'Neil is missing on the planet. Captain Kirk leads a landing party to the planet, whose inhabitants live in fear of Landru and his law-givers.
The Archon crew was absorbed into "the body" -- a population with no free will, controlled by Landru through mind-control technology. Captain Kirk learns that Landru has been dead for six thousand years, and that a computer has been controlling the population for millennia. Kirk convinces Landru's computer that the stagnant population has no free will or creativity, so the computer destroys itself for the good of the planet it was designed to protect.
Sociologist Lindstrom remains behind with a party of experts to help restore the planet's culture, now that free will has been restored.

The U.S.S. Enterprise is transporting United Federation of Planets Ambassador Robert Fox to star cluster NGC-321, hoping to open diplomatic relations with civilizations there. Eminiar Seven, the principal planet in the star cluster, sends a Code 710 message, warning the Enterprise not to approach the planet, but Ambassador Fox orders the ship into the system, to establish a much-needed port in the region for Federation Central.
Captain Kirk beams down and meets Anan Seven, head of the High Council of the Eminian Union, who says that his planet has been at war for 500 years with Vendikar, the third planet in their system, which originally was settled by their people but is now an enemy.
Kirk learns that the war is fought by computer simulations instead of real weapons, and the people calculated as casualties voluntarily report to disintigration chambers to die, but the planets' culture and infrastructure survive. Since the Enterprise is in orbit, it becomes a target in the virtual war, and in the latest attack, the ship is listed destroyed by a tricobalt satellite explosion, and everyone on the Enterprise is ordered to beam down to the planet to be killed.
Kirk refuses to cooperate, and he destroys the planet's war computers, breaking the treaty that set up the simulated war, which means that a real interplanetary war is imminent. Faced with real destruction of their cities after centuries of virtual war, the Eminians are forced to negotiate with the Vendikans for peace. Ambassador Fox remains behind to mediate the peace negotiations, as the U.S.S. Enterprise sets a course for Argana Two.

The United Space Ship Enterprise finds an old DY-100 Class space craft -- used on Earth in the 1990s -- emitting an old Morse code signal. A landing party, including twentieth century historian Lt. Marla McGivers, boards the old atomic-powered ship, called the S.S. Botany Bay. They find around 70 bodies in suspended animation, and one of them awakens -- a Sikh warrior named Khan.
The Enterprise heads for Starbase 12 -- its command base in the sector, on a planet in the Gamma 400 star system -- with the S.S. Botany Bay in tow.
Khan is returned to the Enterprise to recover, but he is reluctant to answer questions about his past or his ship's mission. He has been sleeping for two centuries, since the mid 1990s when Earth's last world war -- the Eugenics Wars -- was fought, during which a group of scientists had genetically engineered a superior breed of man. In 1993, a group of young supermen seized power simultaneously in over 40 nations, but the aggressive leaders began to fight among themselves. After they were defeated, over 80 of the supermen were missing.
Lt. Marla McGivers, fascinated by historical warriors, begins to fall in love with Khan. Captain Kirk learns that their passenger is Khan Noonien Singh, absolute ruler from 1992 to 1996 of more than a quarter of the world, from Asia through the Middle East. Lt. McGivers helps Khan escape to his ship and revive his group of genetic supermen, and they quickly take over the Enterprise in order to find a colony planet where they can rule again.
When Khan threatens to kill the captain, Lt. McGivers helps Kirk escape, and he manages to flood the ship with anesthesia gas to knock out the supermen. After regaining control of the ship, Kirk offers Khan and his group the chance to colonize the savage fifth planet in the Ceti Alpha star system. Facing a court martial, Lt. Marla McGivers decides to join Khan in exile on the planet.

The U.S.S. Enterprise arrives at Omicron Ceti Three, the site of an Earth agricultural colony that is being bombarded by deadly bertold rays. Captain Kirk leads a landing party to the planet, expecting to find the colonists dead, but they find all the colonists perfectly healthy, including the colony's leader, Elias Sandoval, and an old acquaintance of Spock -- Leila Kalomi, the colony's botanist, who met the Vulcanian science officer six years ago on Earth.
There is no animal life on the planet, and the Enterprise is ordered by Starfleet Command to evacuate all the colonists to Starbase 27, but the colonists claim they are healthy and content, and they refuse to leave. Members of the landing party are exposed to spores from an alien flower, and they beam up dozens of the flowers to the Enterprise, where they expose the rest of the crew to the spores, causing them to lose interest in their duties, and the entire crew except for Captain Kirk beams down to the planet.
Kirk learns that strong emotions counteract the spores' effect on people, and Commander Spock helps him create a subsonic transmission that agitates everyone on the planet, breaking the influence of the alien spores on the crew and the colonists.

The U.S.S. Enterprise answers a distress call from Janus Six, a mineral-rich planet with a long-established pergium production station and colony. Several miners have been killed and machinery has been damaged by a powerful corrosive. A pump for the pergium reactor is stolen, and Captain Kirk orders Commander Giotto to lead the security troops into the mine to search for the creature responsible.
Commander Spock theorizes that the creature is a silicon-based life form that can emit a powerful corrosive to create tunnels through solid rock.
Captain Kirk locates the creature, and Spock uses the Vulcan technique of the joining of two minds, allowing him to share the creature's thoughts. They learn that the creature is called a Horta, whose race dies every 50,000 years with just one to care for the eggs to create the next generation. The Horta attacked the miners after they broke into the egg chamber and damaged many eggs.
They make an agreement for the miners to leave the Horta and its children alone, and the Horta will create tunnels to help the miners reach pergium and other valuable mineral deposits.

Negotiations with the Klingon Empire are on the verge of breaking down, so Starfleet Command orders the U.S.S. Enterprise to prevent the Klingons from setting up a base on Organia, a Class-M planet in the disputed area. Organia is inhabited by peaceful humanoids, Class D-minus on Richter's scale of culture. En route to Organia, the Enterprise destroys an attacking Klingon ship, and Starfleet Command issues a Code 1 all-points relay, indicating a state of war.
Captain Kirk and Commander Spock try to warn the primitive Organians about the Klingons, but the Organian elders insist that they are in no danger and do not need the Federation's help.
A fleet of Klingon ships arrives, and Klingon Commander Kor declares himself the military governor of Organia. Kirk poses as an Organian citizen, and Spock tells the Klingons he is a Vulcan dealer in kevoss and trilium, but Kor eventually learns their true identities and arrests them. The Organians help Kirk and Spock escape, but will not participate in any violence against the Klingons.
When the Federation fleet arrives, all weapons in the fleet and on the planet become inoperable, and the Organians reveal that they are energy beings millions of years more advanced, maintaining a humanoid appearance only for the sake of visitors. The Organians warn the Federation and the Klingon Empire that if hostilities continue, they will disable all ships in both fleets.
Captain Kirk and Commander Kor leave Organia with their fleets, both disappointed that there will be no war.

The U.S.S. Enterprise is in orbit of a planet where ripples in time are causing turbulent waves of space displacement. One jolt to the ship injurs Lt. Sulu when the helm console explodes on the bridge. Dr. McCoy uses cordrazine -- a potent drug -- to revive him. Another jolt causes McCoy to accidently inject himself with a high dose of the drug, putting him in a paranoid manic state. He beams down to the planet, near the center of the time disturbance.
Captain Kirk leads a landing party to the planet to search for McCoy among the planet's ancient ruins, which are 10,000 centuries old. They discover a glowing stone arch in the ruins that is the source of the time displacement. The arch calls itself the Guardian of Forever, which has existed since before Earth's sun burned hot in space; it can create a time portal to display other points in history. While Spock is scanning Earth's past through the time portal, the delusional McCoy jumps through the portal, and the landing party loses contact with the Enterprise. McCoy has changed the past and the Enterprise no longer exists.
Spock scans history again and he and Kirk jump through the portal to find McCoy. They arrive in New York City in 1930, days before McCoy arrives, where they meet Edith Keeler, a visionary social worker. Spock uses contemporary equipment to view the records on his tricorder, and determines that after McCoy's interference in the timeline, Keeler will found a peace movement that will delay America's entry into World War II, allowing Germany to win the war. In the original timeline, Edith Keeler would be killed in a traffic accident in 1930, so Kirk and Spock must prevent McCoy from saving her, in order to restore history to the way it was.

The U.S.S. Enterprise approaches the colony planet Deneva -- home of Captain James Kirk's brother, Sam, and his family -- but the Enterprise cannot make contact with Deneva. A Denevan ship is detected heading towards the sun, and the crazed pilot declares he is finally free just before his ship burns up. Commander Spock determines a pattern of mass insanity destroying civilizations in a straight line across the galaxy, starting with the ancient civilizations in the Beta Portilin system; 200 years ago, Lavinius Five was swept by mass insanity, than Pheta Signi Twelve, and the last was Ingriam B two years ago. Deneva is the next planet in line.
Captain Kirk leads a landing party to Deneva, and finds the population in a violent and agitated state. Kirk finds his brother, Sam, dead and his nephew, Peter, is infected with an unknown condition. Sam's wife, Aurelan, is terrified and hysterical, and tells Captain Kirk that eight months ago visitors from Ingriam B brought alien creatures aboard their ship, against their will, to Deneva. The aliens are infecting and controlling the population. Just before she dies, Aurelan warns that the aliens are forcing the infected humans to build ships to spread to another planet.
While on Deneva, Spock is infected by one of the alien life forms -- flying, single-celled organisms resembling individual brain cells in a larger creature -- and he tries to take control of the Enterprise before being restrained. Spock uses his mental discipline to fight the pain the infection is causing, and he beams down to the planet to retrieve one of the alien cells.
Spock and Dr. McCoy experiment on the creature, but can find no way to destroy the aliens without killing all humans on the planet. Kirk suggests that bright light might harm the aliens, which is why the Denevan who flew into the sun was freed of the infection. Spock volunteers himself to be exposed to an intense light, and it succeeds in destroying the alien infection, but also blinds the half-Vulcan first officer.
Dr. McCoy determines that only ultraviolet light is needed to destroy the aliens and free the Denevans they have infected. The Enterprise deploys 210 ultraviolet satellites around the planet to bombard Deneva with light and destroy the creatures, before heading for Starbase 10. Spock regains his sight, because Vulcans have an inner eyelid to shield against the bright Vulcan sun.
