In "Albatross", after delivering medical supplies to a distant Federation contact, Dr. McCoy is placed under arrest for causing an epidemic 19 years ago that wiped at a sister planet. His sloppy medical practices allegedly caused thousands to die. The Enterprise heads to the planet to investigate as Bones sits in a jail cell. After finding a local to testify on McCoy's behalf, the entire crew (besides Spock) plus the witness comes down with the plague. Spock must spring McCoy from the clink in order to find an antidote in time and clear Bones' good name.
This is one of the highlights of the series. It's got a good story and actual stakes on the line. We meet a new alien race with a swift justice system. Besides the abysmal animation and the corny ending, this episode is fairly well done.
