Synopsis: The U.S.S. Enterprise investigates the disappearance of an old Academy professor of Kirk's -- John Gill. Kirk and Spock discover that Gill had "gone native" and violated the Prime Directive by patterning the planet of Ekos after Nazi Germany prior to World War II. It was Gill's belief that, under the right direction, this type of patriotism could be used to positive purpose in the advancement of the planet's culture. The results turn out to be disastrous -- the Ekosian people turn on their neighbors, the Zeons, and place John Gill in the role of the Fuhrer! When Kirk and Spock reveal a power- seeking Ekosian has been controlling Gill, they are able to help him recall a large scale attack and begin the process of restoring peace to both cultures.
