Synopsis: En route to the Vega Colony, The United Space Ship Enterprise picks up a radio distress signal from the S.S. Columbia, which disappeared in the Talos star group about 18 years ago. Science Officer Spock determines that the fourth planet is Class-M (oxygen atmosphere).

Captain Christopher Pike leads a landing party to Talos Four and discovers a camp of survivors from the crashed ship, but the captain is captured by aliens and the camp vanishes; the Enterprise crew realizes that the distress call and camp were illusions to lure them to the surface.

Captain Pike finds himself in an underground cage with a human woman named Vina, the only survivor of the crashed ship. The Talosians want the two humans to breed and create a servant race for them, but they release Pike once they realize that humans would rather die than live in captivity.

Factoid: On Rigel Seven, three Enterprise crewmen were killed and seven others were injured in an ambush by native armored warriors.

Dr. Boyce: "Sometimes a man will tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor. ... We both get the same two kinds of customers: the living and the dying."
