A ship called the [[Camara (ship)|Camara]] is sailing through the [[Irish Sea]] in [[1826]]. The crew have put a [[Ogri|large rock]] into a net and are hoisting it overboard. The Captain discovers what's happening and declares that they're "too close to land to let loose the demon". One of the | A ship called the [[Camara (ship)|Camara]] is sailing through the [[Irish Sea]] in [[1826]]. The crew have put a [[Ogri|large rock]] into a net and are hoisting it overboard. The Captain discovers what's happening and declares that they're "too close to land to let loose the demon". One of the crew members runs toward the stone and pushes it overboard, dying the second he touches it. With a loud splash, the rock falls into the water and sinks into the ocean. | ||
Over a century later, the [[Seventh Doctor]] is enjoying a summer day at [[Blackpool]] with [[Ace]]. The Doctor is sitting in a beach chair near the water while he reads the Camara's ship log and a local newspaper with the headline "Seaside Kidnappings". Meanwhile, Ace is with a crowd watching a building that has caught on fire. | Over a century later, the [[Seventh Doctor]] is enjoying a summer day at [[Blackpool]] with [[Ace]]. The Doctor is sitting in a beach chair near the water while he reads the Camara's ship log and a local newspaper with the headline "Seaside Kidnappings". Meanwhile, Ace is with a crowd watching a building that has caught on fire. | ||
The Doctor notices something coming out of the sea and tells nearby beach-goers to get away from the water. A humanoid creature made of sand emerges from the waves, grabs a [[hot dog]] vendor close to the water and sucks the life out of him. As everyone else runs away from the beach, Ace comes down from the boardwalk to see. She grabs a [[surfboard]] and stabs the creature with it, but it has no effect. Back on the boardwalk, [[firefighter]]s have came to save the burning building. The Doctor asks them for help and they spray the sand monster with their hoses. | The Doctor notices something coming out of the sea and tells nearby beach-goers to get away from the water.

After the monster melts into a pile of sand, the Doctor explains what it is. It's an [[Ogri]] that became sand after years of being eroded by the ocean. Recently, it kidnapped several people along the coast and used their bones to give itself structure. It was attracted to Blackpool by the heat from the burning building. | After the monster melts into a pile of sand, the Doctor explains what it is.
