Synopsis:
A piece of one of history's great puzzles falls into place when
Kirk's crew comes across the S.S. Botany Bay, an old-style,
pre-warp sleeper ship from Earth that contains several bodies in
stasis. Amongst these bodies is Khan Noonien Singh, a genetically
engineered strongman and one of the great leaders of Earth's
Eugenics War of the 1990s. Although he disappeared without a trace
then, once Khan is aroused from his long sleep he soon reveals the
ambition, strength and intelligence that helped him conquer a
quarter of the Earth.
Once aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, Khan quickly
befriends the beautiful Lieutenant Marla McGivers, the ship's
historian who has a passion for strong-willed leaders. Together
with his Botany Bay crew and new companion, they seize
control of the Enterprise by capturing the engine room.
Before it's too late, Marla has great misgivings about her
newfound loyalties. With her help, Kirk and Spock regain control
of the ship by flooding it with gas. Khan's men are soon overtaken
and a due punishment is meted out. Khan and his crew, including
Marla McGivers, are exiled to a planet where they must start life
anew.
