The [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Mel]] are tracking "anomalous concentrations of [[artron energy]]" that have drawn the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] off course. Their search leads them to a research facility in [[1978]] [[England]].

In his laboratory, Dr [[Leech (The Invertebrates of Doom (short story)|Leech]] and his assistant [[Ly]] examine the artefact. Leech is exhausted so Ly brings him some [[water]]. Leech thinks his exhaustion comes from the same source that caused the students to be quartered in the medical wing: the artefact.

The Doctor and Mel burst in on Leech, and the Doctor offers his help. At first guards try to take him away but Leech welcomes his help. The Doctor's device causes the artefact to act strangely. Leech tells him the artefact was probably in the cave for thousands of years. The Doctor says it is alien, and asks if they've translated it. Mel and Ly look one of the drawings, and Mel recognises a [[jellyfish]]. A background whining sound has been steadily growing louder, and suddenly they all hear plopping noises outside. It is raining jellyfish.

The Doctor runs outside to investigate and sees a large spaceship, from which the jellyfish are falling. He runs back inside. Above the artefact a huge jellyfish is floating. It is a hologram. He introduces himself as Commander [[Hydra Sowerbii]] and claims the [[Earth]] for his people, the [[Cnidarian]]s.

The Doctor points out that Commander Hydra's jellyfish are landing on dry land. The hologram disappears for a moment while he stops the jellyfish. While he is gone, the Doctor tries to work out a plan. One of the guards, [[Baines (The Invertebrates of Doom|Baines]], reports that jellyfish are in the lake. Commander Hydra returns, and the Doctor suggests they talk. The Commander complies by sending a metal tentacle into the room to grab the Doctor. He is brought up to the ship.

Baines and the other guards leave to deal with the jellyfish outside. Leech collapses, and Mel and Ly take him to the medical wing.
