In the episode, the USS Enterprise answers a distress call from the Platonians, who dress in the styles of Ancient Greece and use their telekinetic powers to control the minds of Spock and William Shatner "Captain Kirk". This historic episode is known for the early and controversial first interracial kiss broadcast on scripted television between Lieutenant Uhura and Kirk.

The complexity and allure of their fabric are the high-water marks for costume design in television production. Exhibits a few tiny fabric pull areas, but remains in very fine condition.
