Stardate 5784.0: The Enterprise receives a distress call from a planet that was so far believed to be uninhabited. On the surface they are greeted by the short-statured slave Alexander. After McCoy has cured Parmen, the leader of the utopian society of Platonius, Parmen does not allow him to leave again. Using his enormous telekinetic powers he plays cruel games with Kirk and Spock and forces McCoy to watch everything. Kirk and Spock, however, find out that the telekinesis is not inherent to Parmen's race, but is caused by kironide, a substance found on the planet. As everyone can obtain these powers, the crew members eventually defeat Parmen with his own methods and leave together with Alexander.
