"More Tribbles, More Troubles" was initially submitted as a TOS episode as a sequel to one of the franchise's most famous stories: "The Trouble with Tribbles."  On a mission to escort grain cargo ships, the Enterprise runs into a Klingon battlecruiser.  The Klingons, in turn, are in pursuit of an old friend of our heroes: Cyrano Jones.  Jones deals in tribbles, an adorable and dangerously fertile critter.  Just as in the earlier story, Kirk and company must juggle delicate diplomacy with pest control.

Stanley Adams voiced Cyrano Jones, reprising the role he had performed in the prior episode.  Adams was born April 7, 1915 in New York City.  He made his first film appearance as the bartender in 1952's Death of a Salesman.  He played Rusty Trawler in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Most of Adams's work was in television, making guest appearances on many of the most enduring shows of the 1960s: The Twilight Zone, Gilligan's Island, The Addams Family and The Dick Van Dyke Show among others.  In addition to his acting appearances on Trek, he wrote a TOS episode: "The Mark of Gideon."

Adams died in 1977 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
