A U.S.S.
Enterprise
landing party beams down to an uncharted planet. The planet seems like
a perfect candidate for shore leave with its "Earth-type"
characteristics. Kirk sends McCoy down with the party to check it out.
McCoy's
first encounter on the new world is with a life-sized white rabbit in a
waistcoat, being chased by a little girl in a pinafore. Kirk answers
McCoy's somewhat odd call for help and beams down himself to find his
old rival from his academy days, Finnegan. While trying to catch his
old enemy, Kirk meets Ruth, an old girlfriend. He notices that neither
Finnegan nor Ruth have changed in appearance since he's last seen them.
Elsewhere, Sulu is attacked by a Samurai Warrior while others are
chased by tigers and aircraft.
McCoy, who has paired off with
Yeoman Tonia Barrows, is killed by a black knight on horseback. As the
perils become more and more deadly, Kirk and Spock realize that their
thoughts are somehow coming to life around them.
An old man appears,
explaining that this planet is designed as an "amusement park," and he
is the Caretaker
for the world. The planet is not meant to be hostile, and the results
of one's fantasies are not lasting. McCoy appears, healed, with a Rigel
Cabaret girl on each arm. Tonia disengages the good doctor and they go
off to spend what promises to be an enjoyable vacation together. The
Caretaker invites Kirk and his crew to spend their leave on his planet.
Kirk agrees, realizing that once warned, it would provide a most
diverting vacation spot. As he makes his decision, Ruth appears.

wouldn't you say?
Also, did Kirk really think Spock would rub his

Of course Kirk tells McCoy to go after the rabbit

This guy
seems
rather annoying at first,
but I can't help liking him for some reason.
I'm surprised he's never been featured
in a Star Trek novel yet.

The hiss you
hear
in the background is not a result
of my recording of the sound, it's in the
original recording of the episode. That was a common
occurance when they filmed on location (outside.)
If you pay attention to other episodes that
were filmed outside you'll notice choppy dialogue
and generally poorer sound quality than the
episodes that were filmed indoors on a soundstage.

They sure
don't
make Starfleet uniforms like
they used to. Kirk's shirt gets ripped almost
immediately while Finnegan's remains intact

It may be
illogical, but we Humans need to
take a break and 'play' every now and then!
"We don't stop playing because we grow old,
we grow old because we stop playing."
I like that saying... it's very true.
