On [[Earth]], a small orange device is found on a grassy bank. Mr [[Ollis]], the warden of the [[Bird Sanctuary]], walks over to it and bends down to examine it. A [[Land Rover]] arrives at the cottage where Mr Ollis lives. A man steps out and knocks on the door. Mrs Ollis opens the door and the man introduces himself as [[Doctor]] [[Tyler (The Three Doctors)|Tyler]]. He asks her about the device and she tells him her husband is looking after it. The device is carrying an unusual energy blob that seems intent on capturing the [[Third Doctor]]. Tyler goes over to the area, and he and Mr Ollis site each other. Suddenly, there is a crackling noise from the device, and when Mr Ollis bends down to examine it, he vanishes. The [[bird]]s fly off in panic. Doctor Tyler gets back in his Land Rover and asks to be put through to [[UNIT]]. He heads off to [[UNIT HQ]] and when he arrives, he meets with the Brigadier, the Doctor and Jo Grant. Tyler tells the Brigadier what happened and he tells him that he and the Doctor will be happy to help him. When Jo asks him what the box is for, he tells her it is for [[Cosmic Ray]] Research. Tyler explains that even though he's not [[NASA]], he still gets the results. Jo asks why the [[balloon]]s are still being used. Doctor Tyler tells her that inside the device is the most advanced cosmic ray monitoring device between here and [[Cape Kennedy]]. Doctor Tyler tells the Brigadier he was going to contact UNIT for help. Doctor Tyler shows the Doctor some results which surprise the Doctor. | On [[Earth]], a small orange device is found on a grassy bank.

The Brigadier hands a [[stirring rod]] to the Doctor and he stirs his [[tea]] with it. The Brigadier | The Brigadier asks if there is anything they can do; at the Doctor's request, he hands a [[stirring rod]] to the Doctor and he stirs his [[tea]] with it. The Brigadier then specifies if there is anything ''[[U.N.I.T.]]'' can do about the [[space lighting]]. The Doctor tells him there is some sort of compressed light that travels faster. When the Doctor asks if the machine is working properly Doctor Tyler tells him it is, but he hasn't developed the latest plate yet. The Doctor tells him to develop it at once and then let him know. The Doctor and Jo go off to look for the balloon and Tyler tells the Brigadier he will be fine. He tells Tyler to make himself at home. When the Brigadier has gone, Doctor Tyler develops his plate but is horrified to see Mr Ollis' face. As Tyler goes to dismantle the box, the crackling sound is heard again and Doctor Tyler mysteriously vanishes, while a strange organism emerges from the sink plughole. | ||
Meanwhile, the Doctor and Jo are with Mrs Ollis who is showing them the spot where her husband vanished. She then tells them the box had been there this morning and that someone has already gone to collect it. The Doctor asks her if she has seen her husband since this morning. She says she hasn't. She tells them it's not really likely for him to go wandering off, but she will go and look for him. The Doctor and Jo return to [[Bessie]] and Jo asks if it is important and the Doctor tells her it is. Back at UNIT HQ, the Brigadier enters the lab with a full set of reports for Doctor Tyler. But he discovers Tyler has vanished and calls his name. The Brigadier meets Sergeant [[Benton]] and asks him to find Doctor Tyler. | Meanwhile, the Doctor and Jo are with Mrs Ollis who is showing them the spot where her husband vanished.
