"Buck's Duel to the Death" is the twenty-second episode of the 1st season of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
Plot
Buck is sent on what may be a one-way mission: he must overthrow the warlord ruler of a peaceful planet, not knowing that the Traybor possesses special powers that may bring his career to an abrupt end. Buck learns of the Traybor's abilities the hard way after leading a Earth Defense Directorate attack force into Traybor's fortress in an attempt to free a prisoner.
Synopsis
Buck attempts to free a peaceful planet from the powerful grip of an evil warlord known as the Traybor (Smith). The terran leads a band of men into Traybor's fortress in hopes of freeing the women the alien has kidnapped, but the Traybor has a few special powers which may end Buck's career at any moment.
