The TARDIS has brought the Doctor and his companions to the planet Skaro where they meet two indigenous races.

 

The Daleks are malicious mutant creatures encased in armoured travel machines; the Thals are beautiful humanoids with pacifist principals. Despite the Thal's peace loving ethos, the Doctor must convince them to fight the Daleks or risk annihilation.
