The [[U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701|''Enterprise'']] encounters a "warning buoy" marking the territorial boundary of Melkotian space. [[Kirk, James T.|Kirk]] ignores their message to turn back — whereupon the [[Melkots]] transport Kirk, [[Spock]], [[McCoy, Leonard|McCoy]], [[Scott, Montgomery|Scott]], and [[Chekov, Pavel|Chekov]] to a surrealistic recreation of a Wild West town, drawn from Kirk's mind. The landing party will reenact the famous gunfight at the [[O.K. Corral]] — in the losing role of the Clanton gang. But when Chekov, cast as [[Clanton, Billy|Billy Clanton]] (who survived the gunfight), is "killed" before the showdown, Spock realizes that everything they are experiencing is unreal. Using the [[Vulcans|Vulcan]] [[mind meld]], Spock enables his crewmates to reject the illusion, so that when their enemies, the Earps, shoot, the bullets pass harmlessly through them. Kirk refuses to return fire on the Earps and [[Holliday, Doc|Doc Holliday]], because he knows that they are merely phantoms created by the Melkots. The aliens are convinced of Kirk's peaceful intentions — and invite the ''Enterprise'' to open diplomatic relations. | The [[U.S.S.

Stardate 4385.3: As punishment for trespassing, Kirk and crew are forced to re-enact the shootout at the OK Corral.
The Enterprise encounters a "warning buoy" marking the territorial boundary of Melkotian space. Kirk ignores their message to turn back — whereupon the Melkots transport Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scott, and Chekov to a surrealistic recreation of a Wild West town, drawn from Kirk's mind. The landing party will reenact the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral — in the losing role of the Clanton gang. But when Chekov, cast as Billy Clanton (who survived the gunfight), is "killed" before the showdown, Spock realizes that everything they are experiencing is unreal. Using the Vulcan mind meld, Spock enables his crewmates to reject the illusion, so that when their enemies, the Earps, shoot, the bullets pass harmlessly through them. Kirk refuses to return fire on the Earps and Doc Holliday, because he knows that they are merely phantoms created by the Melkots. The aliens are convinced of Kirk's peaceful intentions — and invite the Enterprise to open diplomatic relations.
