Four time travellers. Two missions. One costumed ball. The Doctor has sent Peri and Erimem to prevent the fabulous Veiled Leopard diamond from being stolen. Which is odd, seeing as the Doctor has sent Ace and Hex to steal the diamond. how will the two teams cope with this contradictory task? Will Peri's asp slip? Why does Ace have to pretend to be a French maid? How will Erimem cope with Pharaoh Rammalamadingdong? And can Hex really "do posh"?
Plot
Part I
The 7th Doctor has previously talked to The 6th Doctor about a plan to stop the veiled leopard, a precious diamond which contains a code to rebuild a world which was lost, and return it to the owners. Peri and Erimem stop the jewel thief and return it to its safe, completely ignorant that it is alien.
Part II
Ace and Hex go to find the diamond to steal it. This is just luck that this event happened after Peri and Erimem stopped the jewel thief. This time, the doctor has explained why it is so important. Unfortunately they arrive too late and have to stop another thief who is trying to steal the diamond so that the owner can become even more rich. Ace, finding a shortcut, manages to stop the thief but before she can leave, must explain herself to Peri, Erimem and a few other people.
