 [[File:St--3a03nestenepods.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The meterorites fall to Earth]]It is the late 20th century, and on Earth at a nearby tracking station, a man is scanning the screen and calls for his friend quickly. She comes in, and he shows her what looks like a meterorite storm. The meteorites appear to be flying in formation. In Oxley Woods, a local poacher, [[Sam Seeley]], sees the meterorites falling to the ground, and runs for shelter. As he comes out, he finds one of the meteorites pulsing with energy. The [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materializes in Oxley Woods, and the newly regenerated [[Third Doctor|Doctor]] emerges and collapses to the ground. Meanwhile at UNIT, a car arrives. [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] interviews [[Liz Shaw|Doctor Elizabeth Shaw]] of [[Cambridge University]] for the position of UNIT scientific advisor. She is rather dubious at the prospect, and openly derisive of the Brigadier's claim that Earth has interacted with alien races. The Brigadier mentions a mysterious man known only as "the Doctor" who had aided UNIT in the past, but is now nowhere to be found. The Doctor has been discovered by a UNIT patrol and brought to [[Ashbridge Cottage Hospital]]. Captain Manroe telephones the Brigadier and tells him the Doctor is in the hospital. He then tells him about the police box, and the Brigadier tells him he wants it to be guarded. At the hospital, Doctor Henderson discovers the Doctor's blood supply is different and that he has two hearts. Doctor Henderson telephones Doctor Lomax, and Doctor Lomax tells him the Doctor has alien blood. He explains to Doctor Lomax that he took the blood sample himself and even though the Doctor's blood is different, he still has to look after him. He puts the telephone down and leaves. A porter called Mullins telephones the press and tells them about the "man from space" in the hospital. Meanwhile in Oxley Woods, Sam Seeley has returned for the meterorite. Suddenly, he hears voices, and looks through the trees to see 3 soldiers. At the hospital, the Doctor wakes up, and leans over the side of his bed, looking for his shoes, but the nurse puts him back into his bed. Doctor Henderson comes in. The nurse tells him the Doctor tried to get out of bed, but she soon discovers he has fallen asleep again.
-[[File:ACH.png|thumb|The car pulls up outside the hospital]]A car pulls up outside the hospital, and the Brigadier and Liz Shaw step out of it. Inside the hospital, the lobby is overrun with the press who are asking a soldier about the hospital's mysterious patient who appears to have [[Binary vascular system|two hearts]]. Among the press is a mysterious gentleman named [[Channing]]. The Brigadier and Liz Shaw enter, and the press ask the Brigadier about the "man from space." He tells them he knows nothing about a "man from space". They also ask him about the meterorites, but the Brigadier tells them he is busy, and will talk to them later. The Brigadier and Liz enter the room, and introduce themselves to Doctor Henderson. He tells the Brigadier and Liz that the Doctor's blood is different to anybody elses, and it can't be identifed. The Brigadier is alerted to the Doctor's presence. Liz asks the Brigadier if he knows him, but having chanmnged his apperance, he doesn't recognize him and that he has never seen him before in his life. The Doctor awakens and recognizes the Brigadier, however. He borrows a little mirror from Liz and realises he has changed his apperance. He then falls asleep again. The Brigadier orders the Doctor to wake up, but Doctor Henderson tells him he needs to rest. So instead, the Brigadier tells his assissant Manroe to take the Doctor to UNIT HQ, and also tells him to look for the meterorites. Doctor Henderson offers the Brigadier the way out. A man from the press called James Stevens sees the Brigadier leaving, and tells his friend Jimmy he must have left from the back door. Jimmy asks Mullins when he and the press can be let in, but Mullins tells them they will have to wait. James goes to telephone the office, but then discovers Channing in a telephone box. He asks which newspaper he is on, but Jimmy says he does not know. Mullins comes over and says Channing must have come in with them. James kindly asks Channing if he could use the telephone box so Channing crossly leaves. Meanwhile, Sam Seeley is leaving Oxley Woods, but he is stopped by a UNIT soldier. The soldier tells him the woods are restricted. He then discovers that Sam is a poacher. He asks him if he saw the patrols and Sam says they didn't see him. He tells Sam Seeley to leave and not to come back into the woods until they are derestricted. He asks the soldier about the thunderballs (the meterorites) and tells him he knows where to find one of them. He asks Sam if he knew where one landed, and Sam says he was just asking. The soldier then tells him to push off, so Sam does.

 At the hospital, the Doctor wakes up, and leans over the side of his bed again looking for his shoes, but the nurse tells him he's not going anywhere. Doctor Henderson enters again, and the nurse tells him the Doctor's pulse has settled down. Doctor Henderson asks the Doctor how he's feeling but the Doctor just says: "Shoes." The nurse tells Doctor Henderson that he is worrying about his shoes, and that he thinks someone has stolen them. Doctor Henderson asks where they might be, and the nurse tells him they are probably in his locker. Doctor Henderson takes them out and gives them to the Doctor who snatches them out of his hands, and hugs them. The nurse remarks that the Doctor has been behaving very oddly, so Doctor Henderson tells he will take the Doctor's blood pressure again. The Doctor wakes up, finds the [[TARDIS key]] in his shoe, and attempts to leave. But as he gets out of his bed, Channing's associates appear. They knock Doctor Henderson out and put tape over the Doctor's mouth. They then put him in a wheelchair and kidnap him. Doctor Henderson wakes up and discovers he has gone, and chases after him but is stopped by a UNIT soldier. Outside the hospital, Channing's associastes move the Doctor and his wheelchair into the ambulance, but the Doctor escapes in his wheelchair. The ambulance drives off, but a UNIT soldier shoots the tyres and it stops. The Doctor meanwhile leaves his wheelchair and returns to the TARDIS on foot. Manroe and another soldier find the Doctor's wheelchair and start searching for him. The Doctor reaches Oxley Woods but as he crashes through the trees, he is shot down by a UNIT soldier guarding the TARDIS, and collapses once again.
