Summary

A gravatronic tractor beam is used to capture the TARDIS, but instead of locking onto the Fourth Doctor, K9 is kidnapped instead. Firandel and Rolgot are behind the botched kidnap (for the Sontarans). K9 realises their intention to kidnap and kill the Doctor because of the lack of air on his expected arrival and overpowers his 'hosts' before the Doctor and the TARDIS arrive in safety to collect him.
