Materialising on an idyllic world, the Doctor, Steven and Dodo are welcomed by the apparently highly civilised Elders and taken to their capital city. However, on a tour of the city Dodo discovers that the Elders have a terrible secret.

 

The Elders' advanced society is maintained by draining the life force and energy from a group of primitive Savages who share the planet. While the Doctor decides he must try to prevent the exploitation of the Savages, the leader, Jano, has other plans.
