The Trouble With Tribbles is a classic Star Trek episode about a conflict between the Federation and the Klingons. The Federation wants to claim Sherman's Planet, with the aid of a grain hybrid called quadratriticale, and a Federation official uses (or abuses) a high priority distress call to get Starfleet security on the wheat, stored in a space station. Meanwhile, a trader is selling tribbles: cute, little furry animals whose trilling has "a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system."
A Klingon ship arrives to claim shore leave rights. Uhuru brings a free sample tribble back to the ship, and it spawns over a dozen more by the next day, the same size as itself. McCoy brings one to the lab to find out "what makes it tick", and it spawns 10 more.
The trouble starts when a Klingon soldier uses an encounter with tribbles (which shriek when near a Klingon) to profess his dislike of Earthers who "remind him of Regulan bloodworms."
