[edit] Plot outline

While the U.S.S. Enterprise is escorting two robot ships loaded with quintrotriticale, a new seed grain for famine stricken Sherman's Planet, it encounters a Klingon battlecruiser in pursuit of a Federation scout ship. The Klingons attack the Enterprise with a new energy weapon when it rescues the pilot.

The pilot turns out to be Cyrano Jones, an intergalactic trader the Klingons desperately want, who is now selling Tribbles that reproduce at an incredible rate, They expose the poisoning of the grain by the klingons by injesting the grain and dying.

[edit] Bloopers

Notable in this episode is an egregious blooper that occurred in a scene near the end of the episode. In this scene, a Klingon commander, in the midst of talking to Kirk over the viewscreen, suddenly appears on the Bridge of the Enterprise in front of that screen as if he were on the Bridge, but after the scene switches and then returns to him, he returns to being on the screen instead of in front of and outside of it.
