[[Martin Ashcroft]], Sir [[Jack Merrivale]], [[Johanna Bourke]], and the mysterious [[Doctor John Smith]] (the [[Fifth Doctor|Doctor]]) sit down to record [[DVD |DVD commentary]] for the 25th anniversary of the cult [[1970s]] horror anthology ''[[Doctor Demonic's Tales of Terror]]. ''The former three discuss about the film's technical achievements, past actors and broach but ultimately avoid the subject of the death of a young crew-member of the film, which started suspicions of a "[[curse]]" surrounding the film. However, the Doctor explains that [[The Demons of Red Lodge (audio story)|the events the movie is based on are]], in fact, real, much to their disbelief.

They continue to watch but the Doctor remains quiet until Martin asks him why he hasn't added anything and if he is feeling alright. The Doctor replies that he's concentrating. After watching some more of the DVD, the Doctor then reveals his real purpose for coming was to find the [[Rasht]] which appeared on the film set and is the cause of the strange events surrounding the filming, including production assistant Lauren's death, and that it has likely possessed one of the three others present. The Doctor explains the Rasht's breeding mechanism and how it can be implanted in [[Mind|minds]] and activated with a spoken code-word, with the Racht planning to add the code-word to the DVD commentary in order to activate it for all those watching the film. The Doctor manages to deduce that the Rasht is hiding in Johanna, who at first hesitates but when the Doctor begins defiling the [[Rasht language ]](having taught it to himself sometime ago), the Rasht reveals itself but the Doctor manages to defeat it with the help of the [[pictogram]] ruins which need to be present to seal the Rasht away, which he later reveals he cleverly doctored into the version of the film they are currently watching when the scene featuring them comes on screen as he confronts the Rasht. The Rasht is defeated and the Doctor and Nyssa leave Martin and Jack, despite being saved, in a right state, and thinking they might need to re-film the whole movie as it transpired that the Doctor was also responsible for some of the strange events, including stealing much of the lost raw footage, which had been part of his plan all along.
