A TRANSPORTER MALFUNCTION TRANSFORMS THE CREW INTO CHILDREN...

   [ Picard and crew in Shuttlecraft; energy discharges visible outside ]

   [ Young Picard and crew on transporter platform ]

   [ Bev and Young Picard in Ready Room ]

  Young Picard:  Are you here to relieve me of duty?   
                 I am still Jean-Luc Picard.

...AND A POWERLESS YOUNG CAPTAIN IS ABOUT TO LOSE HIS SHIP TO HOSTILE ALIENS.

   [ Young Picard on the bridge ]

   [ Bird of Prey vessels firing on the Enterprise ]

   [ Two Ferengi's storm the bridge ]

  Riker:  Computer, deactivate all command functions,
          authorization: Riker-Omega-three.

  Ferengi:  We have secured the bridge.

STRIPPED OF COMMAND, CAN PICARD STOP A SAVAGE ATTACK?

   [ Ferengi drags Young Picard into a room with other children ]

  Ferengi:  I will execute every child on this ship.

...ON STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.


Short version:

  When a transporter malfunction turns the crew into children,
  aliens take over the Enterprise, on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.
