Publisher's summary

Plot
Part one
The Doctor, Liv and Helen materialise on the Isle of Man after the psychic paper received a message containing coordinates. They visit the Douglas Gaiety Theatre and are surprised by Mister Timms' abilities when he asks for a Liv who arrived in a blue carriage, but the act is interrupted by Harry Price. Price labels him a fraud and claims that he gets his information from the manager of the Caledonian Hotel; the reason he has come to the Isle of Man, however, is to expose the talking mongoose Gef, known as the Dalby Spook.
