When Maximillian Arrestis, the kingpin of a criminal syndicate called the Elective, is poisoned by a bottle of wine sent from the Benefactor’s Cubiculo, the fact that it killed him proves that he was murdered by someone from his own time zone. | |||
The Maitre D’ retrieves and arrests the occupants of the Benefactor’s Cubiculo -- and the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough, who had just arrived at a quaint 18th-century French restaurant in the TARDIS, are surprised to be dragged over 8000 years into the future and accused of murder. Tegan impulsively flees into the corridors of the Bucephalus, where she meets Arrestis’ consort Diva -- who is being pursued by a man in a shielded combat suit.
