The First Pilot:
The Cage
Captain Christopher Pike and his crew receive a distress signal from the planet Talos IV and beam down to investigate. The landing party discovers crash survivors from a missing scientific expedition. Among the survivors is a beautiful human female, Vina. Pikes’ concern for Vinas safety turns into a distraction by her beauty and is captured by the Talosians who live beneath the planet's surface. The distress signal and expedition survivors, except for Vina, turn out to be illusions created by the Talosians to lure the Enterprise and Pike to the planet.
The Talosians use their power of illusion to interest Pike in Vina, presenting her in various disguises. When Pike resists, the Talosians bring down Pike's female first officer and yeoman from the Enterprise to offer further temptation. By then Pike has learned that primitive human emotions stop the Talosians' ability to read minds, and he escapes with his fellow prisoners.
The Man Trap
The Enterprise arrives at the planet M-113 to deliver supplies to Dr. Robert Crater and his wife, Nancy. The Crater's have been on M-113 for five years conducting an archeological survey of the planet's ruins. Crater tells Kirk that all they need are salt tablets and then left alone. Kirk insists they must at least allow McCoy to give them physicals.
While all this is going on one of the other members of the landing party, Darnell meets a beautiful young woman and wanders off with her. Kirk goes looking for him while McCoy gives the Crater’s their physical. He finds him dead, with suction cup shaped marks all over him. Kirk orders the Craters to beam aboard the Enterprise. Dr. McCoy is surprised at how little Nancy has changed since he saw her several years earlier. Only the woman McCoy sees as Nancy Crater is a shape-shifting creature, and can appear as a different person to each person "she" meets.
Charlie X
Charles Evans, the only survivor of a crashed expedition to the planet Thasus, comes aboard the Enterprise from the S.S. Antares. When Captain Ramart of the Antares contacts Kirk about Charlie, the Antares is mysteriously destroyed.
Charlie shows a lack of grief for the people who had become his friends. He seems only concerned that his new friends like him. Strange things happen when Charlie is angered such as causing injury and discomfort to anyone who he thinks is laughing at him. He demands that the Enterprise take him to the nearest inhabited planet, but Kirk refuses. Charlie gains control of the ship, but Kirk takes it back soon after.
Where No Man Has Gone Before
The Enterprise finds the two-hundred year old USS Valiant as it is approaching the edge of the galaxy. Kirk learns from its recorder that it encountered an energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy. Spock thinks the last thing on the recording is the captain ordering the ships destruction.
Captain Kirk decides to continue with the mision and before long the Enterprise encounters the same energy barrier. Before Kirk is able to retreat two of his officers collapse. Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell and Dr. Elizabeth Dehner recover quickly, but Mitchell soon developes strange powers and becomes dangerous.
