On the way
to Starbase 10, the U.S.S. Enterprise stops to deliver supplies to the
colonists of Gamma Hydra IV. A landing party consisting of Kirk, Spock,
McCoy, Scott, Lieutenant Galway and Chekov beam to the planet's
surface. They find that accelerated aging has taken place, killing most
of the colonists. Chekov is terrified when he discovers the first body.
The only survivors, an elderly couple who claim to be in their
twenties, die shortly after meeting the Enterprise crew. When the
landing party returns to the Enterprise, the aging acceleration begins
to affect each of them ... except Chekov, who remains curiously immune.
While Kirk wants to stay in orbit around Gamma Hydra IV until a cure
can be found, one of his passengers, Commodore Stocker, wants to
proceed to Starbase 10 where he feels the best medical aid can be
obtained.
The
senior officers succumb to the effects of old age and soon Kirk is
unable to command, as are Scotty and Spock. Command falls to Commodore
Stocker, who, while an efficient desk officer, has no deep space
training. Thinking he will save time, Stocker plots a course through
the Romulan Neutral Zone on his way to Starbase 10. The Romulans are
waiting and begin an attack.
Stocker,
panicked and inexperienced, has no idea what to do. As the Enterprise
is surrounded, McCoy comes up with an antidote to the aging sickness
... adrenaline. Chekov, he explains, wasn't affected because his fear
at finding the bodies on Gamma Hydra IV had already kicked his natural
adrenaline into high gear.
McCoy
restores Kirk to normal in time to save the ship by reusing his famous
"corbomite" bluff and telling the Romulans that the Enterprise would
destroy anything within a 200,000 kilometer radius. McCoy distributes
the antidote and restores everyone to their normal state.

I doubt Stocker would
have reached the rank
of commodore without having at least 1 field command.
Commodore comes right after Captain in the
chain of command so Stocker would have had
to command something at one point.
Yes, I know... Picky, picky.

Even under
incredible stress he still
manages to be funny.
(Yes, I know the lines were written for him
and it's just a TV show)
