This Star Trek story has the Enterprise answering a distress call from the planet Scalos where one can see a lovely futuristic city, but no people at all. But as William Shatner remarks there's a lot of insect life because he hears this buzzing like bees in his ears. The disappearance of an Enterprise crewman sends the landing party back to the ship.
Whereupon Captain Kirk disappears like the crewman. He finds himself living at an accelerated speed. When he was at normal speed the Scalosians whom he now sees and interacts with sounded like buzzing insects. There are only five Scalosians left, Jason Evers, Kathie Browne and three others. And there is crewman Geoffrey Binney as well, but he dies from a little too much accelerated living.
The Scalosians are quite frank as to their intentions as they don't think that Shatner can do anything. But he's not a knowledgeable Star Trek captain for nothing. Human and Vulcan ingenuity do triumph.
A nice Star Trek episode without an earth cultural reference for a change.
