[edit] Plot outline
While exploring near the center of the galaxy, the U.S.S. Enterprise is caught inside an energy/matter vortex and all her computer systems fail. A being named Lucien appears on the bridge, repairs the ship's systems and takes the crew to explore his planet, Megas-Tu.
On this planet, magic and witchcraft are quite normal. The Megans are an ageless species that had, at one time, lived on Earth, and were responsible for the legends about witches. Lucien, their guide, is in reality the Lucifer of Earth mythology.
The Megans determine to put Captain Kirk and crew on trial for the crimes of mankind.

[edit] Notes
After the release of all of the animated Star Treks on DVD, the canon status of this story is in question. See: Star Trek canon.
Despite the premise that the animated episodes take place after the original series, this episode has a stardate that precedes all of the TOS episodes.
This episode was essentially a Hallowe'en episode, aired late in October 1973.
