			      THE MAN TRAP

PLOT:
=====
The Enterprise  is  ravaged  by  a  creature that  sucks the  salt from its
victims' bodies.  It is capable of assuming any identity, including McCoy's
old flame Nancy Crater, a crewman Uhura has the hots for, McCoy, etc.

FACTS:
======
 - Since  several  people  were looking  at the being at the  beginning and
   seeing different people, I would assume that is a mind controller, not a
   shape-changer.
 - The  salt-sucker suit shows  up  later  as  part  of  General  Trelane's
   collection in "The Squire of Gothos".

OPINIONS:
=========
Not the tightest plot, but fairly decent for first-season.
