Summary

The tracer brings the Doctor, Romana and K9 to the politically corrupt colony world of Vyga 3. The Doctor's arrival results in his possession of a briefcase which two gangs are desperate to get their hands on. The gangs believe the briefcase contains a secret weapon and agree to work together. Leaving the briefcase and making an escape to the TARDIS, the Doctor and Romana watch on the scanner as the case is opened. It releases a fluctuating chronon which rapidly degenerates those in close proximity. The Black Guardian's trap is foiled.
