The TARDIS lands at the South Pole, where the 'Snowcap' space tracking station is monitoring the launch of the manned ''[[Zeus IV]]'' atmospheric testing probe into orbit. The Doctor, Ben and Polly are apprehended just as the ''Zeus IV'' space capsule is drawn off-course by an unknown force that drains the energy of the ship and the two pilots, [[Dan Schultz|Schultz]] and [[Glyn Williams|Williams]]. | The TARDIS lands at the South Pole, where the 'Snowcap' space tracking station is monitoring the launch of the manned ''[[Zeus IV]]'' atmospheric testing probe into orbit.

Observing the crisis, the Doctor announces that he believes he knows the cause of the problems. However, [[Cutler|General Cutler]], the commanding officer of Snowcap, refuses to take the Doctor seriously. It soon becomes clear though, that the force affecting ''Zeus IV'' seems to be a new planet which bears an uncanny resemblance to Earth. | Observing the crisis, the Doctor announces that he believes he knows the cause of the problems.

The Doctor’s prediction that they will soon receive visitors from the new world comes true when a spacecraft lands outside Snowcap. A detachment of soldiers sent from the base to investigate the TARDIS are attacked and ruthlessly killed by a group of tall, robot-like creatures with blank, emotionless faces. | The Doctor’s prediction that they will soon receive visitors from the new world comes true when a spacecraft lands outside Snowcap.
