Summary
to be added
Plot
The Second Doctor, John and Gillian land on the planet Comedy where they become the victims of the Jokers, who play deadly practical jokes. The travellers are lifted high into the air to make them fall and then attacked by a paper snake with a real poisonous snake inside and then strangled by string. When the Jokers play tennis with an explosive ball the Doctor hits it at them but one of them bats the ball into the distance. One of the Jokers then pulls a gun and leads the Doctor and his grandchildren into a funfair, where they have to ride a disintegrating roller coaster. As the cars fall from the track, the travellers jump clear and are left hanging by their fingertips while the Jokers stamp on them.
The three travellers fall, but the Jokers catch them and take them to the stocks to pelt them with missiles. But the Doctor blows snuff in the Jokers' faces and he, John and Gillian lock them in the stocks and throw rotten eggs at them before leaving in the TARDIS.
