A PIECE OF THE ACTION TO: THE REVIEW
STAR TREK, The Original TV Series

GUEST STARS...
Anthony Caruso, Vic Tayback

PLOT SUMMARY...
Kirk and company encounter an alien world that has modeled itself on the Chicago gangs of the 1920's.

QUICK SCAN...
This episode features excellent recreations of 1920's Chicago, courtesy of Paramount's back lot and wardrobe department. Kirk and Spock look great in their gangster threads. Note Vic Tayback, prior to his "Alice" TV fame, as the mob leader Jojo Krako. A scene of Kirk attempting to drive an antique car is good fun.

SYNOPSIS...
When humans from a starship leave the book , "Chicago Mobs of the 1920s" on the planet Sigma Iotia 2, the planet's inhabitants end up building a world wide culture based on roaring twenties gangsters.

Sometime later, when the Enterprise shows up, Kirk and crew are quite surprised at the state of affairs. Kirk and Spock try to deal with the locals on their terms. When that doesn't work, Kirk and Spock outfit themselves in mobster's clothing, and spout gangster jargon, to better communicate with the locals.

Kirk and Spocko "put the bag" on both major mobsters and their gangs. Gangsters Krako and Oxmyx are put in charge of the territories in Kirk's absence. Kirk makes arrangements for a Federation representative to pick up his "piece of the action" at a later date.
