Crashlanding on an uncharted frontier planet "centons" away from Galactica, Apollo (Richard Hatch) is sheltered by the widowed Bella (Katherine Cannon) and her son Puppis (Johnny Timko). Although the safety of his comrades on Galactica is still foremost in his mind, Apollo is pressed into service to face down a local land baron who holds the planet's populace in thrall. The climax is showdown with Red-Eye (Rex Cutter), an amnesiac Cylon warrior who is now the villain's top gunslinger. "The Lost Warrior" was later combined with the Battlestar Galactica episode "The Hand of God" and reissued as the two-hour "TV movie" The Phantom in Space.
