"Hippocrates would not have approved of lame excuses, doctor." - Commander Spock
The Enterprise officers are conducting a diplomatic mission on Dramia. Just as they are about to leave, Doctor McCoy is served with an arrest warrant and taken into custody. He is charged with causing a planet-wide plague on Dramia II, which occurred shortly after he left there 19 years ago. McCoy is to be put on trial for the mass murder of every single inhabitant of Dramia II. Unsatisfied with the Dramen's conclusions, Captain Kirk and Commander Spock return to the Enterprise and make best speed for Dramia II to conduct an investigation of their own. But Dramen justice is swift and harsh. What little time McCoy has might not be enough to prove his innocence.. and he isn't completely sure he is innocent.
