While en route to deliver medical supplies, the Enterprise encounters a Quasar that they investigate. The commissioner on board the ship is mad, but Kirk states that he has standing orders to study such phenomena and sends Bones, Scotty, a yeoman and two no names on an away mission with Spock in command (on the Galileo 7 shuttlecraft).
Shortly after leaving, the shuttle craft hits an ion storm and crash lands on a planet in the middle of the quasar. Giants attack the crew, ultimately killing the no names. Spock irritates everyone by being too logical.
The Enterprise finds it difficult to search because of the ion storm, while the commissioner gets impatient. Kirk uses every last minute he has to find the away team, but to no avail. He eventually begins taking the Enterprise to drop off the meds.
In the mean time, Scotty drains the phasers into the Galileo 7 to give it enough fuel to lift off. A few giants hold it down, so they use more energy than they wanted to.
Once in orbit, their fuel is too low to maintain orbit. Spock suddenly makes an "emotional" decision to jettison their fuel and ignite it, rather than saving it for a safe landing. The Enterprise notices the message and safely picks up the remaining away team.
In the end, Spock insists that his decision to go with his gut was the only logical choice.
