In this episode, a Kymera Craft, a sleek and visually appealing spaceship, pursues a Terator Starship, an extremely ugly spaceship. Manning these two ships, respectively, are the Terator and the Kymera. Like the Terator Starship, the Terator is an ugly creature; like the Kymera Craft, the Kymera is a beautiful creature. The Terator Starship escapes the attacking Kymera Craft and descends to Third Earth landing at the Cats' Lair. When Lion-O sees the Terator Starship and it fails to respond to his request for identification, Lion-O automatically assumes that the Terator Starship is evil and attacks the spaceship. In retaliation, the Terator uses laser beams rendering Lion-O immobile blocking his attempts to signal the other Thundercats; even the Sword of Omens won't obey Lion-O. As the Terator begins to communicate with Lion-O, he insists that Lion-O attacked him first, that he means no harm, and that he is not Lion-O's enemy. The Kymera Craft reappears and the Terator Starship is shot down. The Kymera Craft returns to the Lair and the Kymera explains to Lion-O that the TeratorS are his enemies and that he is searching the galaxies for survivors of the latest Terator raids on his planet. Lion-O responds that this is exactly the same story the Terator told him about the Kymera. The Kymera warns Lion-O never trust a Terator and anyone can tell by their appearance that they are evil. As Lion-O doubts the Kymera's word, the Kymera attacks him. Lion-O realizes that the Kymera is evil and the Terator is good. As the Kymera Craft begins to leave the Cats' Lair, Lion-O summons the other Thundercats with the Sword and they pursue the Kymera Craft in the Feliner. The Terator Starship returns and aids the Feliner in battling the Kymera Craft. Lion-O destroys the Kymera Craft with the Sword of Omens, and the Terator Starship is saved.
