PLOT SUMMARY...

QUICK SCAN...
This episode features brilliant courtroom speeches. Kirk's defense attorney, Samuel Cogley, is memorably played by veteran character actor Elisha Cook, Jr. ("The Maltese Falcon"). The attorney is an old girlfriend, come back to haunt him. The paintings depicting the exterior of Starbase 12 are particularly good. Truly a classic!

SYNOPSIS...
During a space storm, Kirk is forced to eject a pod with a crewman, Ben Finney, aboard. Later, because the crewman died, Kirk is slapped with a court-martial.

During the court-martial, it's learned that Kirk has received many commendations for good conduct by Star Fleet. The prosecutor, Lieutenant Areel Shaw, Kirk's old girlfriend, attempts to nail Kirk's hide to the wall. His defense attorney is an eccentric, old fashioned lawyer who actually owns real books, as opposed to computer tapes.

The court-martial inquiry ends up on the Enterprise. It turns out that Finney, man whose death Kirk is being blamed for, is still alive. He blames Kirk for ruining his career, and faked his death in order to get back at Kirk.
