		       AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD

PLOT:
=====

A group  of  brats  under the  leadership of  the Friendly  Angel steal the
Enterprise, after killing their parents.  The Friendly Angel convinced them
that with their parents out of  the way  they'd be  able to  have much more
fun.  The  children  play  on  the secret  fears of  the crew  to make them
imagine things that aren't  there (e.g.:   Sulu  sees knives  coming at the
screen and refuses to change course.)  Kirk eventually  convinces the brats
that they  miss  their parents  by showing  them visual  recordings of them
playing on the planet.

FACTS:
======
 - Kirk beams two red shirts into space,  thinking they  are still in orbit
   around the planet.

OPINIONS:
=========
Pretty lame.
