Synopsis

Over 100 years ago, before the Federation directive of non-interference, the U.S.S. Horizon visited the planet Iotia and reported its inhabitants as being extremely bright and imitative humanoids. The Enterprise has been ordered to observe the progress of Iotia. Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down and discover a culture identical to America in the early 20th century, contaminated by a book left behind by the Horizon titled "Chicago Mobs of the Twenties."
