"Mr. Spock, that was a good gamble." - Lieutenant Montgomery Scott
In an effort to catalog a quasar while delivering critical medical supplies to New Paris, the shuttlecraft Galileo crashes on an unexplored world. Commander Spock, one of the shuttle's occupants, takes command for the first time and attempts to balance his rational, logical understanding with the frayed emotions of the other stranded crewmembers who must now follow his orders. Meanwhile, Captain Kirk fights a ticking clock to locate and rescue the lost shuttle occupants while High Commissioner Ferris (John Crawford) breathes down his neck to reach the life or death rendezvous on time.
