Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor materialises on the planet Hell, which has been conquered by the Daleks. Abslom Daak and his fellow mercenaries have been shot down over the planet, and only Daak has survived. He and the Doctor join forces to find out what the Daleks are doing here, and they find that the native Helkans have been put to work mining the poisonous helkogen gas from beneath the surface of the planet. The Doctor, Daak and a party of Helkans hijack a shuttle and head for the Death Wheel the Daleks are constructing in orbit, but they fail to transmit the proper security codes and are captured. Daak escapes, and discovers that the Daleks are building a genocide machine with which they will be able to gas entire planets. Daak rescues the Doctor and the Helkans, and while fleeing, they locate the Death Wheel's reactor core. Daak sends the Doctor and the Helkans to safety while he pilots a Dalek anti-gravity disc into the reactor, destroying it, blowing up the Death Wheel, and saving the planet at the cost of his own life.
