The episode opens up with a shot of Johnny driving down a street in a high-tech car, and complaining about the fact that he is a robot magnet, as there is a Kree Sentry following him. The thing begins to shoot a laser at Johnny, and he begins to accelerate even harder so that he can try to avoid the robot, but the thing continues to follow Johnny is pursuit. Johnny then begins to get warnings from Reed about not striking the robot until there is back up for him. This of course goes right over Johnny's head, and he turns into the Human Torch in order to prepare for battle. The Human torch flies through the sun roof of his car, and he flies up to the robot. However, due to his actions, the car hits the wall of a near by building, and explodes on impact. Reed, a witness to this, begins to wonder why Johnny didn't understand to not go after the robot, so Ben replies with a comment about Johnny having lost Reed when he said the word "don't." Reed makes another warning, though Johnny ignores it once more, and begins to attack the Kree Sentry, burning it with his flames. Though the robot is not destroyed, Johnny yet again attacks it using his power of flame-throwing, causing the Kree Sentry to be destroyed for real this time. After destroying the robot, Johnny then begins to gloat about how he destroyed the robot as the rest of the Fantastic Four appear though things aren't in the clear for Johnny yet. After the battle, Johnny is transported. Susan screams, worried about her brother, saying that the thing vaporized the Human Torch. Though, Reed argues saying that the robot didn't vaporize him, it merely transported him.
Because of the case at hand, Reed declares that the Fantastic Four's scheduled appearance at the local Children's Hospital for a fundraiser. Ben then tells the team members that he'll go, so Reed takes Susan back to the Baxter Building, so that the two of them can work out a way to find out where Johnny is.
Meanwhile, Johnny wakes up to what appears to be a completely isolated room, with a collar around his neck. He tries to remove the collar, but he has no success with it. Then, the room lights up and then several people appear around him, booing him as the room fully lights up. Ronan the Accuser reveals himself to Johnny, and he tells them that he is being held for crimes against the Kree Empire, and he will be judged by him. Johnny then turns into the Human Torch so that he can get himself out of this strange place. But, Johnny falls at doing so, due to the collar that he wears on his neck.
At the fundraiser, Ben is just about to give a speech that Reed had prepared for him. He begins to get the cards that have the speech on it, but as he bends down, he hears what seems to be a tearing sound, and he looks back to see that his pants had split. He then is forced to be unable to pick up the cards that have his speech on it, due to the fact that he has extremely large fingers, which prevent him from being able to pick up the thin pieces of paper.
Meanwhile, at the Baxter Building Reed is working on figuring out Johnny's location, with Susan pressuring him about finding her missing brother. Reed then discovers that Johnny is currently at the Central Park.
At Central Park, a huge force-feed appears.
Inside of the force field, Ronan states to Johnny that they have returned to Earth, the home planet of the accused. Ronan tells Johnny that it is here that he will be terminated.
Outside, the police and citizens of New York have now gathered around the field of light. Reed and Susan are outside the force field as well. Susan decides that she is going to blast her way into the force field, but Reed urges her to wait.
Inside, Johnny hears the sounds of his teammates trying to save him, and Ronan tells him that their powers are no match for the Kree technology, and he prepares to continue with the trial. Johnny manages to get the opportunity to have Reed Richards as his Lawyer so they teleport Reed in. Johnny then informs Reed about the situation at hand, and then they prepare to move on with the case. Ronan then tells Reed that he has the opportunity to have two witnesses on Johnny's behalf.
Back at the fundraiser, Ben is entertaining the children by juggling them. He sets the children down, being teleported away shortly after.
Outside, Susan continues to attempt to break in through the force field, before she is teleported inside of the Force Field. Ben asks Reed if they should begin to do battle, but Reed tells Ben and Sue that they need to play along. Ronan then begins to show clips of the evidence at hand -- showing many instances where Johnny has been destroying Kree Sentry robots. Johnny apologizes, admitting that he didn't think before he destroyed the robot, though Ronan argues that anyone who attacks the Kree Empire must be judged. Ben gets ready to defend Johnny, but Reed warns him that they are going to use their thoughts and feelings about Johnny against them. Susan and Ben both ignore Reed's warnings and clips of the two being mean to Johnny after he makes a stupid decision are shown. Ronan then tells Johnny that he has made his final decision, and he sends two mechanical lions to terminate him.
Johnny is in trouble now; the lions are coming after him. Reed, Susan, and Ben get near Johnny, getting ready to defend their teammate and friend. Ronan then decides that the Fantastic Four are now enemies of the Kree Empire. Reed asks Ronan why he came here and Ronan tells him that about the Kree Conquer. While his teammates are being pre occupied with Ronan, fighting him off and the many things that he has to fight them with, Johnny notices that there is a little boy in trouble, a Kree native little boy. Johnny saves him as Ronan fights the other members of the Fantastic Four. The crowd then begins to cheer for Johnny, just before Ronan destroys the Fantastic Four. Then, the Supermor appears, and tells Ronan that the humans should be spared... for the moment at least. Ronan is displeased, trying to persuade the Supermor to let him destroy the Fantastic Four, though the Supermor tells him that they might be useful against the Skrulls. He then suspends the trial, and he, Ronan, the Kree People, and the energy field disappear, leaving the Fantastic Four there.
Back at their home, Johnny apologizes to Reed and Susan due to his poor behavior. He then goes to visit Ben who is playing video games. Ben accepts Johnny's apology, and as they leave, Johnny puts a sign on Ben's back. They then both leave the room, ending the first episode.
