Stardate 4523.3: The Enterprise is overrun by furry creatures while tangling with Klingons and bureaucrats.
The Enterprise is diverted to Deep Space Station K-7 to protect an important shipment of quadrotriticale, a specialized grain; there, Captain Kirk finds his patience severely taxed by Federation Undersecretary of Agricultural Affairs Nilz Barris and his assistant, Arne Darvin. The arrival of a Klingon ship, commanded by Captain Koloth, complicates matters further. Station Commander Lurry must grant the Klingons permission for rest and recreation on K-7 under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, while protecting the grain. Kirk's most serious problem turns out to be space trader Cyrano Jones, a dealer in rare commodities including "tribbles." Tribbles, living fluffballs that do nothing but coo, eat, and multiply, soon threaten to overwhelm both the Enterprise and the station. The tribbles find their way into the grain bin and devour the grain, and widespread tribble casualties reveal that the grain was poisoned. The Klingon-hating tribbles expose Darvin as a Klingon spy, and Scotty beams the Enterprise's crop of tribbles to the Klingon ship as a parting gift, "where they'll be no tribble at all."
