Episode Summary

The Enterprise escorts grain ships to a famine-struck planet, encountering a Klingon cruiser using a new stasis weapon. They rescue Cyrano Jones, infamous for a previous tribble debacle, along with his genetically altered, non-reproducing tribbles. Klingons demand Jones for ecological sabotage, leading to strategic confrontations. McCoy discovers the tribbles are eating vital grain. It's revealed the Klingons need a tribble predator, the "glommer," stolen by Jones, to control a tribble infestation. The crisis is resolved with the Enterprise returning the glommer and controlling the tribble population.
