This is the final in the series of DVDs that presents all of the Original Star Trek episodes. This DVD contains the last episode and the pilot for the series. "Turnabout Intruder" (aired 6/3/1969, stardate 5928.5)-This final episode begins with the Enterprise receiving a distress call from Canus II. The landing party finds only an ill Janice Lester and Dr. Coleman, who claims the remainder of the group on the planet have died as a result of radiation. But Janice, an ex-associate of Kirk, is jealous of his success and is not really ill. She does the old body-swapping trick on Kirk and now, in Kirk's body, is out to wreak havoc unless someone can stop her. "The Cage"-This pilot for the series was shown in 1965 but didn't cut the mustard, so it was re-worked with a new cast (except Leonard Nimoy as Spock). The Enterprise answers a distress signal, and Captain Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) heads a landing party to investigate. But the distress call was a ruse and the highly intelligent inhabitants have plans for Pike.
