Kirk, Uhura and Chekov find themselves on the planet Triskelion, where they encounter kidnapped beings from across the galaxy. A Literature/{{Dracula}} lookalike named Galt informs them that the Providers have chosen them to become "thralls", which apparently entails being [[ForcedPrizeFight forced to fight]] one another in UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} outfits. Kirk, Uhura and Chekov begin their "training" with each assigned a "drill thrall" of the opposite sex. Kirk gets Shanah, a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe (actually a green-''haired'' space babe) wearing what looks like a very kinky bikini made out of tin foil. Our heroes, of course, refuse to have any part in this and Galt decides to make an example of Kirk by having him whipped. Being Kirk, he manages to turn this into a FightScene and subdue his whipper. At this point, the Providers bid on the three newcomers and they become full-fledged thralls. That was quick training. His shirt having been ruined in the whip fight, Kirk [[ShirtlessScene goes shirtless]] for the rest of the episode. Having apparently realized that one ''Trek'' cliché has still been left out, Shanah asks Kirk WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove, prompting the usual speech and [[BoldlyComing demonstration]].
By this time, the ''Enterprise'' has found Triskelion by following the energy trace left by the Providers' teleporter. As Spock and [=McCoy=] prepare to beam down, the Providers seize the ship. Kirk convinces the Providers to show themselves and they turn out to be [[BrainInAJar Brains In A Jar]]. He bargains for his freedom, agreeing to take part in a three-against-one fight. If Kirk wins, all the thralls go free, but if he loses the entire crew of the ''Enterprise'' willingly becomes thralls. Kirk wins, of course, and the Providers honor their agreement. Kirk bids farewell to the now freed Shanah.
