While on an emergency mission to escort two automated cargo ships to Sherman's Planet, the Enterprise alters its course to engage a Klingon battle cruiser that's in hot pursuit of a one-man scout ship. Just moments before that ship is destroyed, the lone pilot is beamed aboard the Enterprise, and Captain Kirk is once again reunited with an old nuisance: Cyrano Jones, and of course, he as Tribbles with him. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the Enterprise crew literally and figuratively have their hands full with a whole new batch of ever-growing Tribbles, but they also have to contend with a powerful new Klingon weapon that poses a new threat to the Federation. Writer David Gerrold returns to "Star Trek" with "More Tribbles, More Troubles," his "Animated Series" follow up to "The Trouble with Tribbles" from "The Original Series." And just like its predecessor, "More Tribbles, More Troubles" is a delightful entry that captures the fun, the heart and the humor that made "The Trouble with Tribbles" one of "Star Trek's" most beloved and popular episodes.
