Synopsis:
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 academy days,
Finnigan. While trying to catch his old enemy, Kirk meets Ruth, an
old girlfriend. He notices that neither Finnigan nor Ruth have
changed in appearance since he'd 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.
