Beamed up during an ion storm, which causes a transporter malfunction, the landing party of Kirk, McCoy, Scotty and Uhura find themselves in a mirror universe aboard a parallel Enterprise run by ruthless barbarians. The ion storm also caused their malicious counterparts to beam to the real starship. Kirk and the others must find a way home before they are discovered and exposed by their parallel crew members, who use treachery, back-stabbing and seduction to get what they want. —fkelleghan@aol.com

Trivia
It took about a month to complete this particular episode. After filming had begun, BarBara Luna was diagnosed with strep throat. Since the script called for Capt. Kirk to kiss her, they had to postpone the kissing scene for three weeks until she was medically cleared, since they couldn't risk William Shatner getting infected.

Goofs
When Dr. McCoy uses a hypo to gain entrance to Engineering for Scotty and himself: when the door first opens, the shoulder of the set crew can be seen briefly behind the actors.

Someobody's Missing!

Yes, this is a great episode, but where pray tell was the "evil" Nurse Chapel in the parallel universe? All of the other major cast members, as well as a minor one (Mr. Kyle) were accounted for in either the beamed up landing party or on the ship in the parallel universe. But the lovely evil nurse is nowhere to be found. Also, my six year old nephew pointed out another matter a while ago. Why weren't the Halkans evil as well? They should have been eager to part with those lithium crystals!
