Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
A pilot from the planet Ven Kyuk Nar works together with an alien called the Krulius. They are travelling through the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars when the space ship of the pilot crashes on Earth. The Krulius leaves the pilot to die, but the pilot is saved by Sarah Jane and Luke Smith.
Sarah Jane and Luke take the pilot to the attic of 13 Bannerman Road. However, the Krulius soon appears at the attic and wants to attack Sarah Jane. When the pilot tries to help Sarah Jane, the Krulius uses his toxic breath to hurt the pilot. Then he teleports the pilot, Sarah Jane and himself to the Doloth Star Base, where he wants to kill them. After this he wants to destroy Earth. However, Sarah Jane uses her sonic lipstick to send a signal to Mr Smith before she was teleported away. Mr Smith informs the Judoon about the location of the Krulius. It takes only a short time until the Judoon arrive on the Doloth Star Base. They take the Krulius with them and bring Sarah Jane back to Earth. The pilot, who is still weak and suffering of the toxic shock, also needs to come with the Judoon, because the Judoon need him for evidence.
