Enterprise is for the second time on its way to Risa when yet again another urgent matter comes up: a distress call. It comes from a small vessel. The owner, Kobral, is extremely happy with the help from Enterprise and invites Captain Archer to his home world for a good meal and a game of geskana. When Archer and Trip have landed on the desert planet, Enterprise gets a message from the Torothan chancellor Trelitt. He tells Zobral isn't as nice a man as captain Archer thinks.
