[edit] Plot outline
Investigating a sector of space where starships have disappeared every 27 years, the Enterprise finds a race of beautiful women living on the planet Taurus II.
While in the Taurean system signals begin to affect the male crew, causing them to hallucinate. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Doctor McCoy beam down to the source of the signals.
After arriving on the planet they are taken prisoner by the Taurean women. The landing party begins to age rapidly as a result of life-draining headbands they are forced to wear.
On board the Enterprise, Uhura has taken command due to Scotty's irrational behavior. Uhura orders an all-female landing party to transport down to rescue the men.
