If you are choosing which volumes to keep, this one falls under the "nice to have but not essential" category. In the first episode, we get a comical episode as "Koirck" and then Spock attempt to pass themselves off as old-time Chicago-style gangsters with extremely humourous results. The plot is admittedly far-fetched and full of holes and yet this is what adds to the humour of the episode which is never meant to be taken too seriously. Overall a slightly above average episode.

The Chicago Crime book contaminated the iconian society, whose propensity for exactness and imitation built two war societies on the descriptions from the Book. The society lived by the details of the book unquestionably.
Spock argued illogically, the proper solution for the two war factions was unionification. Spock disreguard the moral thinking which would have opposed unifying all the organized crime heads into one massive band of thieves. The Federation entangle itself into a terrible ... Read More

Volume 25 of the Star Trek DVD collection has two great episodes from the second season. Although season 1 of Star Trek was far more diverse and fresh, season 2 just happend to spawn some of the series most classic and memorable episodes. This DVD contains just two of these great episodes.
A PIECE OF THE ACTION may very well be one of the top five most popular episodes of the original series. The Enterpirse crew arrives at Sigma Iotia II to find a civilization similar to the Chicago Mobs of the ... Read More

"A Piece of the Action" occurs on a planet in which an alien society have based their entire lifestyle on a book left behind by a previous starship. The book is "Chicago Mobs of the 1920's". Great fun in this episode. Watch Kirk drive a car. Listen to Spock talk like a gangster.
"By Any Other Name" is probable one of the most scariest episodes I can remember. Kirk watches helplessly as his ship is taken over by aliens & his crew is reduced to cubical shapes.
