Something is amiss in the mining village of [[Killingworth]] in early [[19th century]] [[England]]. [[Miner]]s are being gassed in the bathhouse and turned into thugs and vandals, attacking men and smashing up machinery, seen as Luddites by other locals. The [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown]] witness this when they arrive in Killingworth looking for the cause of some sort of [[time distortion]]. They also notice one of the rampaging miners has a strange red mark on his neck. With his usual audacity, the Doctor foists himself upon the local landowner, [[Ravensworth|Lord Ravensworth]], who is concerned at the ferocity of the attacks, with the most passive of men suddenly turning violent and unpredictable. | Something is amiss in the mining village of [[Killingworth]] in early [[19th century]] [[England]].

The answer lies in the local bathhouse. {{Ainley|c}} has turned up at this key point in human history. He forces his way into the presence of the old woman who runs the bathhouse, in reality, another [[Time Lord]], {{O'Mara}}. She is a gifted [[chemist]] and is using the set-up of the bathhouse to anaesthetise the miners and distil from them the neuro-chemicals that enable sleep. This is what causes the red mark on the victims. These chemicals are synthesised for use back on [[Miasimia Goria]], a planet she rules and which the Master has visited, where her other experiments have left the inhabitants without the ability to rest and are now rebelling. He persuades her they need to deal with the Doctor together. He also steals some of the precious brain fluid she has collected to ensure her collaboration. It is a rocky partnership, full of half-truths and deceptions. The Master goes to deal with the Doctor, egging on local miners to attack his enemy and persuading some to throw [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] down a mine shaft. | The answer lies in the local bathhouse. {{Ainley|c}} has turned up at this key point in human history.

The Doctor has meanwhile dressed as a miner and entered the bathhouse. He soon [[deduce]]s the Rani's schemes. She traps him but he challenges her ethics. She reveals she has been coming to Earth for centuries to harvest her precious chemicals. The Master convinces the Rani to let him deal with the Doctor. He has the TARDIS pushed down a mine shaft. The angry Luddites put the Doctor in a cart to ensure that he follows it. | The Doctor has meanwhile dressed as a miner and entered the bathhouse. He soon [[deduce]]s the Rani's schemes.
