==Plot summary==
==Plot summary==
The Federation wants to colonize Sherman's Planet with the aid of a grain hybrid called quadro-triticale. However, the Klingon Empire wishes to do the same, and there is a treaty stipulating that whoever can manage the planet best has claim over it. A Federation official abuses a high priority distress call to lure the USS ''Enterprise'' to Deep Space Station K7 as protection for the wheat, much to the ire of Captain Kirk. However, a Klingon ship arrives soon after, ostensibly to claim shore leave rights under the terms of the treaty, and Kirk chooses to remain.

It would be unfair to the reader to give away the rest of the story, but the idea for tribbles is reminiscent of the Martian flat cats of ''The Rolling Stones'', a science fiction story by [[Robert Heinlein]].

==Episode sequel==
Scenes from this episode were used in a sequel episode on the fifth season of ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', "Trials and Tribble-ations", with members of the Deep Space Nine crew digitally inserted into the scenes that featured Captain Kirk, Spock and other ''Original Series'' cast members from that episode (including a notable scene near the end of the episode, actually taken from the ''Original Series'' episode "Mirror, Mirror", where Deep Space Nine commander Captain Sisko, disguised as an ''Enterprise'' lieutenant, interacts with Captain Kirk on the ''Enterprise'' bridge).<ref>[http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Trials_and_Tribble-ations_(episode) "Trials and Tribble-ations"] at Memory Alpha ''Star Trek'' wiki</ref> Thanks to the nostalgia generated by "The Trouble with Tribbles", "Trials and Tribble-ations" was the most-watched ''Deep Space Nine'' episode that season.
