[edit] Plot outline

When the U.S.S. Enterprise is attacked by three Romulan warbirds, Kirk takes the ship into a nearby gaseous energy field to hide.

The cloud affects the Enterprise computer and it begins to play practical jokes on the crew: making glasses leak, utensils turn to rubber, and covering decks with ice. As these practical jokes become more and more dangerous, McCoy, Uhura, and Sulu get trapped in the Enterprise's malfunctioning holodeck.
