Synopsis: Kirk takes McCoy and Spock on a reunion to a lesser-developed world he visited as a lieutenant, garbed in native costume to preserve the Prime Directive. When Spock is wounded by gunfire on a world where firearms shouldn't exist, Kirk realizes the Klingons have interfered by introducing the advanced weaponry to the nearby villagers. Faced with the decimation of old friend Tyree's hill people, Kirk wants to start an old-fashioned arms race to keep the balance of power -- and halt the erosion of innocence in Tyree's world.
