As the <I>U.S.S. Enterprise</I> makes its way through the Omega Sagitta system, Captain Picard and his crew encounter a disabled cargo ship captained by a charismatic rogue named Okona. After beaming aboard the <I>Enterprise</I> Okona quickly proves popular with its crew; but while the women fall for his good looks and charm, Lieutenant Commander Data is unable to understand Okona's jokes; puzzled and intrigued, the android turns first  to Guinan the bartender for help, and then visits the holodeck to take lessons in humour. Then two interplanetary ships appear and their captains demand Okona's surrender; Debin accuses Okona of getting his daughter, Yanar, pregnant, while Kushell and his son Benzan believe that he has stolen the Jewel of Thesia, his nation's valuable prize. Captain Picard realises that if he hands Okona over to either Debin or Kushell he will cause a war between their respective homelands - should he harbour an apparent criminal..?
