Albatross is an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

Plot outline

When the U.S.S. Enterprise visits the planet Dramia to deliver medical supplies, the authorities immediately arrest Dr. McCoy for mass murder. The Dramians allege that 19 years prior Dr. McCoy had supervised an inoculation program against Saurian virus on Dramia II, and that once he had left most of the inhabitants died from a plague.

Kirk takes the Enterprise to Dramia II to investigate, and in the process the crew gets infected with the same plague.

Notes

This was the last of the animated episodes to be directed by Hal Sutherland, who had directed all of the episodes up to this point.
