Kirk, Uhura and Chekov find themselves on the planet Triskelion, where they encounter kidnapped beings from across the galaxy. A [[Dracula]] lookalike named Galt informs them that the Providers have chosen them to become "thralls", which apparently entails being forced to fight one another in BDSM outfits. This episode seems to be intended primarily as [[Fetish Fuel]]. On that note, Kirk, Uhura and Chekov begin their "training" with each assigned a "drill thrall" of the opposite sex. Kirk gets Shanah, a [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] (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 [[Fight Scene]] 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 [[Shirtless Scene|goes shirtless]] for the rest of the episode. Having apparently realized that one ''Trek'' cliché has still been left out, Shanah asks Kirk [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]], prompting the usual speech and [[Boldly Coming|demonstration]].
