In the fifteenth
century civilisation is hardly civilised, as the Doctor
discovers when the TARDIS materialises in an ancient Aztec
temple.
When Barbara is mistaken for the reincarnation of the Aztec's
High Priest, Yetaxa, she seizes the opportunity to put an end to
the ceremonial rites of human sacrifice and save the Aztecs from
self-destruction.
The Doctor must somehow convince Barbara to let history follow
its natural course and return to the TARDIS before their real
identities are discovered. Can they escape before they become
the next blood sacrifices?
