The <I>U.S.S. Enterprise</I> investigates the planet Beta III, where the starship <I>U.S.S. Archon</I> mysteriously disappeared over one-hundred years ago. After the initial landing party begins exhibiting strange behaviour, Captain Kirk takes a second group down to the planet surface; here he finds that the peaceful inhabitants seem slow and sluggish, displaying a lack of free-will, and controlled by a group of lawgivers called ‘The Body’, which is in turn controlled by a tyrannical ruler known as Landru. However, these docile people rapidly transform into a violent mob at the coming of the ‘Red Hour’, a festival that is their only respite from the dictatorial hold that Landru has over them. When the <I>Enterprise</I> becomes drawn from its orbit, Krik realises that his crew will be absorbed into the Body, the same fate suffered by the <I>Archon</I>. He and Lieutenant Commander Spock make contact with a group of <I>Archon</I> survivors, who have formed an underground movement to fight the Body; with their aid, the two Starfleet officers confront Landru, only to discover that the ‘tyrant’ is in fact an extremely complex computer built by a scientist named Landru, who lived six-thousand years before; the original Landru wanted to guide his people into a peaceful, civilised time, but he only gave the computer his scientific thoughts and memories, not his wisdom; the computer has carried out Landru’s suggestions to the point that no-one is allowed independent thought. Can Kirk convince the machine to see the error of its ways...?
