The Enterprise crew finds itself in orbit around a planet whose youth were all killed in a brutal and cataclysmic policy enacted by the homicidal Malthus regime of the planet Beta Rho Cassiopeia. Suspicious of sensor readings and unable to raise planet officials on all hailing frequencies, Captain Kirk and landing party beam down to investigate. Soon after, the landing party discovers a connection to Anan 7 of Eminiar and its notorious disintegration chambers. However, Kirk is suddenly seized and held prisoner with Mr. Spock and both are given a shocking death sentence without being provided due process of law. Kirk and Spock manage to escape captivity, and with the landing party eventually find a way to contact the Enterprise in orbit to notify Starfleet Command. A combined Federation assault force eventually deposes Malthus, and Kirk installs citizen Zaul as the occupational leader of the new interim government of planet Beta Rho Cassiopeia -- but not before Captain June of the USS Forrestal makes an absolutely horrific discovery on a nearby planet. Captain Kirk reads from the trampled upon Declaration of Independence before beaming up to the Enterprise.
