Smith becomes involved in a space pirate's hunt that unearths questionable treasure.
The Robot, Will, Penny and Dr. Smith find a box which contains a talking head. Terrified, they return to the Jupiter 2. That night Smith is roused by the head when it visits his cabin. After she leaves, Nik, a mechanical bird, appears and leads Will to Captain Tucker. When Will unties him, the pirate Captain explains that he was marooned by his crew.
The head reappears and Tucker recognizes him as Beelibones. Tucker takes the head to the pirate camp where he explains to Deek, smeek and Isruland that it is the key to Beelibones' treasure, but that the head is programmed to respond to Beelibones' personality only .The next morning the head tells Smith that it is attuned to him. Will suggests that the Robot analyze the head, and the Robot decides that it holds the key to a treasure. Deek, who has been watching with Tucker and the other pirates behind cover, tries to capture the head, but the Robot, Will and Smith escape with it to the Jupiter 2.
Hearing about the pirate, John Robinson orders everyone to stay at the campsite that night. Smith, however, sneaks out. The pirate captures him and the head, and Will, hearing the doctor's screams, goes out to find him. Will finds Dr Smith at the pirate camp where his captors are ordering the doctor to activate the head to find the treasure. At the Jupiter 2, John and Don search for Will and Smith. An arrow appears from the head pointing into the wilderness. Following the arrow's direction, Will, Smith Tucker and the other pirates arrive at a stone wall. When Deek tries to find a secret panel in the wall, the ground opens up and swallows him.
The head then leads them to a rocky ledge. But when Isruland climbs it, a beam of energy dlsmtegrates him. Fmally, the head leads Smith, Will, Tucker and smeekto the pit area. Will is ordered to dig. He uncovers Beelibones' treasure chest which contains pig iron. On Beelibones' planet, it is learned, scrap metal is rare and valuable. John and Don burst into the scene. After driving smeek away, John graciously allows the old pirate to go back to his spacecraft hidden in the hills.
Ray says:
A very well written fine acted episode. Albert Salmi returns as Tucker The Space Pirate and is wonderful. Episode is full of Fantasy and fun and one of season two's best episodes.
