The Infinite Vulcan is an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series and was written by Walter Koenig.
While visiting the newly discovered planet Phylos, Lt. Sulu picks up a walking plant, called a Retlaw, and is poisoned. The alien species that inhabit the planet, who are plantlike beings, approach and save Sulu's life.
From them the crew discovers that most of the Phylosians were wiped out by a plague brought to the planet by Dr. Keniclius, a Terran scientist who survived Earth's Eugenics Wars.
A giant clone of Keniclius, named Keniclius Five, kidnaps Mr. Spock in order to clone him and create an intergalactic peacemaker, at the expense of the original Spock's life.
Due to budget constraints, Koenig was not a regular member of the cast, and Chekov did not appear in the animated Star Trek. His having written this episode marks the first time a Classic Trek cast member worked on the other side of the camera in Star Trek.
