[[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] shows [[Rani Chandra|Rani]] | [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] shows [[Rani Chandra|Rani]] ''[[The Silver Bullet]]'', a superhero comic strip he has written and illustrated. Rani is impressed with her friend’s latest project, but isn't quite as taken with his idea for another tale, starring an adventurer named “Susie June Jones”. Meanwhile, Rani's father, headmaster [[Haresh Chandra]], meets with [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] and her newly-adopted daughter to discuss [[Sky Smith|Sky’s]] enrolment at the school. When their conversation is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a fish on the office's window-ledge, Haresh suspects a student prank. However, when he, Sarah Jane and Sky go outside, they find that it is raining fish. | ||
Leaving Haresh and his pupils gaping at the bizarre, fish-covered school and playground, Sarah Jane, Sky, Clyde and Rani race back to the attic of No. [[13 Bannerman Road]], where Mr Smith is busy monitoring reports of the unusual storm. Sarah explains that accounts of such phenomenon have been attributed to tornadoes sucking up fish and depositing them elsewhere. Just to make sure, she asks Mr Smith to carry out a scan for any alien energies that could be to blame. The [[Xylok]] computer does not detect anything suspicious. He informs Sarah of a possible link to a new exhibit at the Museum of Culture, where a Mojave Native American totem pole is on display. Legend has it that when this artefact was removed from the cave where it was hidden, a storm of fish fell from the skies. | Leaving Haresh and his pupils gaping at the bizarre, fish-covered school and playground, Sarah Jane, Sky, Clyde and Rani race back to the attic of No. [[13 Bannerman Road]], where Mr Smith is busy monitoring reports of the unusual storm.

The gang arrive at the museum; as they race inside, Clyde gives some change to a homeless girl begging on the street. Making their way to the Native American display, the gang easily find the totem pole: a tall, wooden post carved with creepy-looking faces. Clyde plays the joker and tickles one of the faces, only to get a nasty splinter in his finger; while he tries to remove it, Sarah Jane, Sky and Rani meet Doctor [[Samantha Madigan]] from the anthropology department.

The following morning, Clyde visits Sarah Jane to show her his completed comic book. She is full of praise — until Clyde says his name. Her attitude changes in a second. She is furious at Clyde for his teasing of Luke and promptly throws him out of her house. Astonished, Clyde crosses the road to tell Rani what happened — but then Haresh says Clyde’s name. His daughter and he become enraged. Rani spitefully tells Clyde she hates him and Haresh expels the bewildered boy from school. | The following morning, Clyde visits Sarah Jane to show her his completed comic book.
