The
Doctor has heard stories of
strange and sinister goings-on
on Earth colony Terra Alpha.
Citizens have disappeared without
trace, and strange creatures
lurk in the pipes and sewers
under the capital city. Believing
it is high time someone got
to the bottom of the mystery,
the Doctor declares to his young
companion Ace that tonight will
be the night...
He discovers
that Terra Alpha is ruled by
the tyrannical Helen A, a dictator
who requires her subjects to
be happy... or die. Her roving
death squads - the Happiness
Patrol - are empowered to kill
on sight anyone displaying signs
of sadness, gloom or melancholy.
However,
it is not just the sadistic
Happiness Patrol that the Doctor
and Ace must contend with. Before
they can discover the dark secret
of Helen A's regime, they must
face the fearsome bloodlust
of her savage pet, Fifi, and
the lethal surprises cooked
up by her chief executioner
- and confectioner supreme -
the Kandy Man. |
