The one where they all grow old.

A landing party gets exposed to a strange disease which causes accelerated aging. As they struggle with the effects, Commodore Stocker takes over command, and takes the Enterprise into the Romulan neutral zone. Just in time McCoy gets the antidote -- andrenaline -- and Kirk bluffs his way out of the situation.

Another plot idea that TNG recycled in the episode "Unnatural Selection."

Apart from the dodgy science, it's another good episode, the acting is superb.
