In search of more energy, the Bajoran government plans to tap the molten core of its fifth moon, Jeraddo. During an inspection of the moon's surface, Kira discovers a Bajoran farmer, Mullibok, who refuses to leave. Meanwhile, on the station, Nog and Jake try to make a quick buck by selling some Cardassian yamok sauce Quark has been stuck with. But the prospective buyer offers a trade instead and the wheeling and dealing begins. Back on Jeraddo, Kira attempts to forcibly remove Mullibok in the name of progress. As Jake and Nog's desperation to make a profit grows, so does Kira's desire to save the old man.
