Every player worth their abilities always wants to do a courtroom drama because of the built in dramatics inherent in them. Veteran of the big screen Elisha Cook, Jr. Who usually died in all his films got to be a futuristic defense attorney when he defends William Shatner against a charge of dereliction of duty which led to a criminally negligent homicide charge.
Not only is Cook up against the lovely prosecutor Joan Marshall who once had a thing going with Shatner, but he's also up against that most infallible of institutions, the Star Trek computer. The way things are there's no way you can beat a computer at anything. But that depends on who's programming the machine and it is only a machine.
With a little help from Leonard Nimoy that most computer like of living beings, Cook proves you can rig things even the Star Trek computer logs. You know that because Captain Kirk does return to command the Enterprise in the next episode.
Captain Kirk is charged that in his negligence he causes the death of Lt. Commander Richard Webb while going through an ion storm. All I can say here is that Webb you might remember as I do from childhood as Captain Midnight is far different as this jealous and resentful officer under Kirk's command.
Nice job all around.
