The
Doctor, Romana and K-9 continue
their search for the six segments
that make up the powerful Key
to Time.
The
TARDIS lands on the world of
Zanak, despite the Tracer indicating
that they seek another planet
altogether - Calufrax. On Zanak
they find the populace living
under the cruel tyranny of the
Captain; a bullying, arrogant
cyborg who is using the hollow
planet as a giant spaceship
materialising it around worlds
and then mining them dry.
Living
apart from the other people
of Zanak are the Mentiads, a
feared group of silent men with
heightened extra-sensory powers.
The Doctor tries to rally the
Mentiads into attacking the
Captain's base and free the
planet from his control. But
the Doctor has failed to realise
who actually wields the power
on Zanak.
Having
failed to find the second segment,
Romana finds herself put to
work on the planet's massive
engines, K-9 battles the lethal
robot parrot Polyphase Avatron
and the Doctor discovers the
identity of the next planet
targeted for destruction...
