The
TARDIS lands at the site of
a hyperspatial collision between
two spacecraft, the Empress
and the Hecate. As a result,
neither ship is dimensionally
stable, risking the lives of
all those aboard. The Doctor,
K9 and Romana offer to help
out.
When
a crewmember is found dead,
his face lacerated by huge claws,
it seems something deadly has
been released by the accident.
But how is the death linked
to the discovery that the killer
drug Vraxoin has been smuggled
aboard - and where has the supply
come from?
The
Doctor soon realises that the
aliens stored in a projection
machine may hold the answers
- and that the cages holding
these specimens are anything
but secure as the savage Mandrels,
hideous swamp-creatures from
the planet Eden, tear through
the corridors of the helpless
spaceships... |
