  • Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock save a planet from extinction, but are doomed by its war-mad leaders!
  • As the Jupiter 2 travels through space, Will and Dr. Smith pick up a celestial body on the radar screen. Seconds later, a female voice greets them and gives them co-ordinates to dock at a spaceport. Will is wary, but Smith insists they land, thinking the planet is Earth. They head toward the planet and through a radiation belt which damages the ship. John and Don try to move away from the planet, but it pulls them in anyway, forcing them to land in an mysterious and abandoned looking docking bay. Although the female voice continues to greet them in a friendly manner, she will not identify herself or the planet. John is frustrated and refuses to let anyone leave the ship. Robot is sent out to survey the area, but only gets a few feet before he is shot and disabled. Despite all the excitement, John insists that everyone go to bed. The next morning, they are again contacted by the female voice who urges them to disembark. John does not want anyone to leave until they know where they are, but Smith has high hopes and decides to go out on his own. When he does investigate, he finds their female host is a robot. In fact, the planet seems to be populated by nothing but robots. He is informed he is not on Earth and is interrogated about his crew and how well they are armed. The female robot offers Smith riches in exchange for the Robinson’s weapons. Smith agrees. Back on the Jupiter 2, Smith tells many lies and claims they have indeed landed on Earth. John is not fooled and insists they leave at once. When they do try to lift off, a gang of hostile robots appears and forces the ship to stay by draining its power. That night, Smith sneaks out with the weapons and is followed by Will and the Robot. Smith hands over the weapons to the female robot and is taken away to be given his reward. Will and the Robot are taken away to the leader of the planet, a giant robot brain. The brain insists that Robot leave the Robinsons and swear loyalty to the Kingdom of Cybernetics. The Robot apparently does so and is made an officer. Will and Dr. Smith are then forced to work on an assembly line where their own Robot supervises and bullies them. However, the Robot proves to be a double-agent and helps his friends escape, shoving down androids guards in the process. With the robots disabled, the Jupiter 2 regains its power and manages to lift-off and escape the evil planet, but find soon find the planet has launched a missile after them.
