The starship Enterprise is investigating the disappearance of another spaceship one hundred years ago - and discovers a planet where everybody seems to be brainwashed, and the survey team, headed by Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Mr Spock (Leonard Nimoy) are to be brainwashed as well while the Enterprise is dragged down by tractor beams emmanating from the planet and is not able to break free ... which makes Kirk think, since the planet is by far not well enough developed to have this kind of tractor beams ...

Ultimately, Kirk and company are able to team up with two resistance fighters who have not yet be brainwashed (Harry Townes, Torin Thatcher), discover that the planet's god Landru (Charles Macaulay) is a mere hologram and find out the planet is really controlled (and brainwashed) by a sort of super computer - but not super enough to withstand Kirk's arguments that he - the computer - is really the source of all the planet's evil and therefore must self-destruct - boom.

Of course, the ending of this episode, where Kirk persuades a computer to self-destruct, is rather silly, and some of the story is rather predictable, but apart from that, The Return of the Archons is a nice paranoia tale that manages to move along swiftly and remain entertaining. Nothing great perhaps, but totally watchable.
