The U.S.S.
Enterprise answers an old distress signal to find an unnamed planet
that is almost an exact duplicate of Earth in the 1960s. A landing
party beams down and discovers that 300 years before, the natives of
the planet conducted experiments to prolong life, but had instead
created a deadly virus. The virus killed all adults by rapid aging and
madness. In children, the virus slowed the natural aging process
greatly, leaving them in a state of prepubescence for centuries.
There
are no adults on the planet, only children, and they survive the best
they can without adults to aid them. The landing party contracts the
virus, except for Spock, who becomes a carrier of the disease. Until a
cure for the disease can be found and created, the landing party is
confined to the planet. To return to the U.S.S. Enterprise would mean a
rapid spread of the disease.
The
landing party attempts to make friends with the children, but they
vividly remember the horrible deaths of their parents and refuse to
have anything to do with them. One of the older children, Miri, falls
in love with Kirk and tries to help him with the other children until
she begins to see Yeoman Rand as a rival for the captain's affections.
Stung, Miri helps Jahn, one of the boys, to lead the children in a
campaign to harass the U.S.S. Enterprise crew members. When Kirk tries
to reason with the children, he is badly beaten.
One
of the older children begins to exhibit symptoms of the disease and
Kirk convinces them that they all will get the virus and die horribly,
when they finally reach puberty. Using himself as a guinea pig, McCoy
creates an antidote from old research notes found in the planet's lab,
and finds the cure. The doctor says that the Federation will probably
send supervisory personnel to colonize the planet and take care of the
children. |

Isn't it amazing how many Earth-type planets
there are in the galaxy? Actually, it was done
that way because of budget limitations.
It was much cheaper to show a planet that
looked similar to Earth than it was to create
some strange alien landscape.
