Star Trek TOS: Episode 76 - THE CLOUD MINDERS

Utterly forgettable. The plot is interesting enough, I guess. It’s a fairly obvious social comment. Kirk and crew beam to a planet in order to retrieve a mineral from a mine. They land in the middle of a labor dispute between the working class miners and the elite class (that happen to live in a city on a cloud???). The miners are being affected by a dangerous gas. Kirk negotiates a compromise and gives the miners gas masks. At least the cloud city seemed kind of cool.
