Synopsis:
Enraged at the massacre of the Earth colony on Cestus III, Kirk's crew gives chase to the apparent perpetrators until a third party intervenes. The advanced Metrons, holding both the Enterprise and the pursued Gorns hostages, opts to settle the dispute by letting both ships' captains fight to the death on a nearby planet. In this bloodsport, the loser will not only forfeit his life, but the lives of his crew as well. Kirk soon discovers he'll need brain over brawn to win when his adversary turns out to be a physically superior reptillian species.
