McCoy tortured by aliens!

While searching for missing Federation researchers, Kirk, Spock and McCoy are captured by Vians - aliens who plan to use them for research! Materializing in an unknown location, our trio meet Gem, a mute woman and "empath" who cures injuries by absorbing the pain of others. After a demonstration of her abilities on Kirk and McCoy, the Vians give her a test: her planet will be saved if she gives her life to save Dr. McCoy!
