Summary
A deep-space battle between members of an elephant-like race and the Shasarak leads to a ship crashing down into the planet below. When the Eleventh Doctor and Amy arrive on the planet they spontaneously burst into song. They are then attacked by the Shasarak. Amy escapes but the Doctor is caught. Amy gets to a nearby village, where she is greeted by a huge dance routine. A man named Rajiv shows her the Muse, a blue-skinned woman who has the ability to make people burst into dance. Meanwhile, the Shasarak leader tells the Doctor that they are trying to capture the Muse. The Shasarak burst into a dance routine and the Doctor escapes. The Muse explains to Amy and Rajiv she is an android who was used as an amusement for the Maharani, but when the Shasarak figured out her powers could be used for evil, they hunted her down. She was injured from the crash landing. Just as she finishes, the Doctor turns up and begins inspecting the Muse. He comes to the conclusion that she could recharge from a nearby power source, so he goes out into the town and a dance routine starts. While this is happening, the Doctor goes into one of the houses and is followed by the Shasarak leader. Amy, Rajiv and the Muse sneak into the Shasarak ship, where she recharges. The Doctor is about to be shot when the Shasarak start dancing due to the Muse being at full power, and are left dancing for hours. While the authorities are on the way, Rajiv and the Muse embrace their love and the Doctor and Amy leave.

- The third edition of aHistory arbitrarily dates this story to 2397, as it seems to be set in the future when Bollywood culture has spread from Earth into space (but admits the possibility that Bollywood culture originated in space).
Continuity
- Another humanoid-elephant species appeared in COMIC: Where Nobody Knows Your Name.
