The Doctor, Ben and Polly land on [[Pluto]]'s moon, [[Charon (moon)|Charon]], inside a [[force field]] dome. They find a dead body, and are accosted by the crew of a spaceship that lands nearby. Two of the crew, [[Spinks]] and [[Ray (Pluto)|Ray]], think the Doctor and his friends killed the man, [[Spinks]], but their leader, Professor [[Magellan (Pluto)|Magellan]], a robot, determines that Spinks committed [[suicide]]. | The Doctor, Ben and Polly land on [[Pluto]]'s moon, [[Charon (moon)|Charon]], inside a [[force field]] dome.

The Doctor and his friends learn that Magellan and his group are on Charon to harvest water, which is in great demand during this time period. Spinks came on ahead of the others to find another member of their crew, [[Ask (Pluto)|Ask]], with whom they lost contact. | The Doctor and his friends learn that Magellan and his group are on Charon to harvest water, which is in great demand during this time period.

The fissure leads to a cavern, in which they find a control sphere surrounded by seven coffin-like boxes. Several are occupied by humanoid aliens, but one box contains a human — Ask. Magellan kills the aliens, and the Doctor and Ben bring the unconscious Ask back to the camp. | The fissure leads to a cavern, in which they find a control sphere surrounded by seven coffin-like boxes.

Magellan's mistrust of the Doctor and Ben increases when he sees that Ben is angry over the killings. He arranges for Spinks to share a tent with Ben and the Doctor and to keep an eye on them. | Magellan's mistrust of the Doctor and Ben increases when he sees that Ben is angry over the killings.

In the middle of the night, Ben wakes from a nightmare to see that both Spinks and the Doctor are gone. He wakes the others, then he heads for the TARDIS. On the way, he finds Spinks' mangled body. Back at the camp, Ask wakes and starts screaming, "It's free, it's free!" While Magellan sedates her, Ben and Polly sneak off to the cavern, though Ben thinks that the Doctor has left them here. | In the middle of the night, Ben wakes from a nightmare to see that both Spinks and the Doctor are gone.

In the cavern, they find the Doctor in one of the boxes. Suddenly they are attacked by a black [[shadow]], but Magellan, who with Ray has joined them, can't see anything. The Doctor, from the box, sends up a wall of water that temporarily blocks the creature, and urges the other four to join him. The five of them together control the creature enough to send it away. | In the cavern, they find the Doctor in one of the boxes.
