==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Doctor and his companions land on a planet ruled by spherical robots called Gyros. When Gillian is captured the Doctor investigates and discovers a race of humanoids who are the survivors of a terrible illness. It soon transpires that the Gyros are the servants of another group of people who sealed themselves inside a building to avoid infection from the disease.
On a distant world the threat of plague has divided the human population into two factions, the primitive land dwellers and the old men who live within the mechanised cities, guarded and dominated now by the work robots, the Gyros. The Doctor helps restore the status quo.
