[edit] Plot outline
While visiting the newly discovered planet Phylos, Lt. Sulu picks up a walking plant, called a Retlaw, and is poisoned. The alien species that inhabit the planet, who are plantlike beings, approach and save Sulu's life.
From them the crew discovers that most of the Phylosians were wiped out by a plague brought to the planet by Dr. Keniclius, a Terran scientist who survived Earth's Eugenics Wars.
A giant clone of Keniclius, named Keniclius Five, kidnaps Mr. Spock in order to clone him and create an intergalactic peacemaker, at the expense of the original Spock's life.

[edit] Notes
The name of the Retlaw is a pun. It is Walter spelt backwards, a reference to the writer of the episode, Walter Koenig.
Due to budget constraints, Koenig was not a regular member of the cast, and Pavel Chekov did not appear in the animated Star Trek. His having written an episode of the series marks the first time a Classic Trek cast member worked on the other side of the camera in Star Trek.
