The
U.S.S. Enterprise arrives in orbit around Exo III, to search for
exobiologist Dr. Roger Korby. When Kirk asks Spock if Korby could
possibly still be alive, Spock glances at Christine, then quietly shuts
off his monitor. Christine Chapel, McCoy's chief nurse, is Korby's
fiance. Chapel had signed on with the U.S.S. Enterprise in the hope of
finding him. Korby is known as the "Pasteur of archeological medicine."
At Dr. Korby's request, only Kirk and a very excited Christine Chapel
beam down to the planet. They find the doctor living in an underground
cavern built by what is known as "The Old Ones," the extinct natives of
Exo III. He tells them that he discovered the caverns while suffering
from severe frostbite, five years before.
Using equipment left behind by these now-dead beings, Korby has learned
how to construct androids who look and act like humans. His android
companions, Ruk and Andrea, amaze Kirk and Chapel with their realness.
Although, Korby explains, Ruk existed long before he arrived — a
product of "The Old Ones."
Christine recognizes Dr. Brown, Korby's aide, but is mystified by his
failure to recognize her. The reason for his behavior becomes clear
when they discover that he, too, is a sophisticated android. Korby's
plan is to slowly replace key people in the Federation with androids,
integrating the machines into other worlds.
Taking Kirk prisoner, Korby creates a perfect duplicate of the Captain,
which fools even Nurse Chapel. During the duplication process, however,
Kirk plants false memories and ideas in his double's brain which makes
Spock realize that something is very wrong. Korby, convinced that his
android will fool the U.S.S. Enterprise crew and allow him to take over
the starship, has the double beamed aboard. The false Kirk is to look
over their proposed route and pick a likely planet on which to begin
colonization.
Spock immediately becomes suspicious of his captain until finally,
after spewing an ethnic slur at the first officer, Spock is certain
that this is not Captain Kirk. He orders a landing party to meet him in
the transporter room after the Captain has beamed down to the planet.
Meanwhile, on Exo III, Christine Chapel realizes that somehow Roger
Korby has changed; he's no longer the wonderful man she'd fallen in
love with. He's become somehow distant and unfeeling ... though he
obviously still has a great fondness for his fiancee.
Separated from Christine, Kirk is being guarded by Ruk. The Captain
convinces the hulking android that Korby is a threat to his continued
existence and must be destroyed. Ruk attacks Korby and is eliminated.
It is discovered, to Christine's horror, that Korby has housed his
essence inside an android body. Kirk convinces the doctor that he's
become more machine than human. In front of his horrified fianc?e,
Korby grabs Andrea and fires a phaser blast that kills them both. Spock
arrives with a landing party to find only Kirk and Christine remaining.
Chapel announces that she would like to stay with the U.S.S. Enterprise
to complete her tour. |

Definitely one of the most ridiculous ideas
from any classic Trek episode. How would
it be possible to create an android by simply
spinning a person in circles? It would only
serve to make the poor victim sick to their stomach.
Oh well, it was the '60's!

What would you say if I told you the story
doesn't end there? It's true!
Michael Jan Friedman wrote a novel that continues
the story right where the episode leaves off.
It's called, "Double, Double" and you can
