Exploring the seas of Argo, an unstable planet almost completely covered by water, Kirk and Spock are attacked — and regain consciousness as water breathers. They soon discover an underwater race: the Aquans. The younger Aquans, convinced the surface dwellers come in peace, saved their lives using ancient surgical techniques, while the older Aquans believe the "air breathers" are hostile. When Scott, learning of an impending sea-quake, beams down, the elders interpret his visit as the start of an invasion. Kirk and Spock are left on an island to die, but Rila, a young Aquan, rescues them and gives McCoy her people's medical knowledge. The younger Aquans gather the substances needed to reverse the operation, and all watch from the bridge of the Enterprise as its phasers save their city from the quake. The younger Aquans decide to live on the surface of their world once again, while the older ones remain water dwellers.
