[[RunningGag In this episode of "O'Brien Must Suffer"]], it's time for O'Brien to go on vacation for the first time in five years. As he and Keiko take a runabout to their vacation destination, they are intercepted by a Cardassian patrol, they board and O'Brien is arrested and taken captive. O'Brien wakes up on Cardassia Prime where, after the Cardassian version of a mugshot and being offered the chance to confess to his crime, he is told his trial will be in two days. Through all of this, none of the Cardassians have told him what he has been accused of.
Back on ''Deep Space Nine'', Sisko informs Keiko that several Federation ships have been deployed to the demilitarized zone to pressure Cardassia over O'Brien's capture. They are contacted by Makbar, the Archon who will be overseeing O'Brien's trial. She explains that O'Brien's charges will be announced at the start of the trial, as is customary in Cardassian jurisprudence, and in the meantime there is no need to prepare -- his guilt has already been decided, the trial is to explain how and decide how severe his guilt is. As his spouse, Keiko has the right to attend the trial, and she will be accompanied by Odo, who, having been made an officer of the court during the Occupation, has requested to be O'Brien's advisor in the trial.
O'Brien meets his "defense attorney", Conservator Kovat. He explains that O'Brien's trial and sentence helps reinforce order and peace on Cardassia, the people will see a guilty man be caught and punished and they will feel safe in knowing a criminal has faced justice. Kovat's role is to try and coax a confession from O'Brien, not to prove his innocence.
On ''[=DS9=]'', Sisko and Kira find two dozen photon torpedoes missing from weapons storage -- the voice print to access it is O'Brien's, and it is possible a transporter could have swapped the crates without the security scanners noticing. Weeks ago a Maquis ship stole a supply of photon launchers, leading them to wonder if O'Brien's vacation was a cover to sell the torpedoes to the Maquis. Sisko begins an investigation into if the Maquis were behind the theft, while also raising the question of how the Cardassians could have suspected O'Brien was smuggling weapons. Dax analyzes O'Brien's voice print and realizes it was reconstructed by someone who had recorded O'Brien's voice.
Odo meets with O'Brien and explains the situation to him, but O'Brien maintains his innocence. The trial begins and Odo tries to present the evidence that O'Brien was framed, but Makbar shuts him effort down -- the verdict has already been reached and no new evidence can be submitted now, and Makbar has no interest in whatever "evidence" the Federation may produce to prove O'Brien's "innocence".
The crew question Raymond Boone, a suspected member of the Maquis and former friend of O'Brien, who was seen talking to him as he left the station. He claims to know nothing. In medical, the lights go off and Bashir is confronted by an unknown member of the Maquis, who claims Boone is not one of them. Sisko and Bashir confront Boone and bring up many ways in which he began to act strangely eight years ago when he was released from a Cardassian detention center. They restrain him and Bashir conducts a medical examination. As O'Brien's trial winds down and Makbar prepares to sentence him, Sisko enters with Boone. Seeing them, Makbar decides there is room for compassion in Cardassia's courts, and O'Brien's verdict is set aside and he is released.
Back on ''[=DS9=]'', the crew explain that Boone was a Cardassian, identified as such by the fact all Cardassians have a tooth extracted for purposes of identification at age ten. The real Boone apparently died in captivity, and a Cardassian was surgically altered to look like Boone to infiltrate the Federation. They believe this plot was to try and make it seem as though the Maquis were secretly being supplied by the Federation, so the Cardassians would have cause to pressure the Federation to leave the demilitarized zone and disband their colonies. With the plot exposed, O'Brien and Keiko can go on their vacation properly this time, Sisko having pulled strings to get them an extension.
