While scouting an abandoned factory by a lake for a camping trip, the Turtles witness a "shooting star"—actually a damaged spacecraft—crash into the water. After Raphael breaks open a robotic suit that emerges from the lake, the group rescues an unconscious alien woman named Jhanna. Once she recovers, she reveals that she is the rightful winner of her planet's election but is being hunted by the corrupt Queen Moriah, who is attempting to cheat the traditional "trial by combat" by ambushing Jhanna on Earth.

The peace of the campsite is shattered when Moriah arrives with a small army of deadly alien henchmen. The Turtles engage in a fierce battle against the horde, providing Jhanna the opening she needs to face her rival in a fair duel. Victorious, Jhanna chooses to brand Moriah's face rather than kill her, upholding her honor. As the sun rises, a rescue ship whisking Jhanna away arrives before the other Turtles wake. She leaves behind a single lock of her hair for Donatello, who is left gazing at the stars when April and Casey arrive, completely skeptical of the "fun" the brothers claim to have had.
