Storyline
| Plot Summary |
When Captain Kirk and his landing party arrive on Pyrus VII, they are met by eerie mists, a dark castle, wailing witches, zombies and a black cat. They soon learn that they are under the influence of a wizard, Korob, who tries to bend them to his will. They also soon learn that the black cat they saw is more than she appears and is in fact a powerful witch in her right. This beautiful witch, Sylvia, who wears a diamond pendant on her black dress, explains that they are explorers from another galaxy; however, Kirk and Spock must find a means to escape their grasp before they return to the Enterprise.

| Trivia | The voices of the little creatures in the final scene are the sounds made by newly-hatched alligators calling for their mother. See more » |
| Goofs | The initial landing party makes no sense. Kirk almost always leads the landing party himself. The planet is seemingly uninhabited and has sparse plant life. If he doesn't go himself, he would send Spock with a team of professional scientists with a heavy concentration in geology and meteorology. Instead, Kirk sends an engineer, an amateur botanist, and a command-track officer. Not a blueshirt in the bunch. See more » |

First Witch:
Wind shall rise. Second Witch: And fog descend. Third Witch: So leave here, all, or meet your end. [wailing witches cackle and vanish] Captain James T. Kirk: Spock. Comment. Mr. Spock: Very bad poetry, Captain. Captain James T. Kirk: A more useful comment, Mr. Spock. Mr. Spock: What we've just seen is not real. Captain James T. Kirk: That's useful. See more » |
