The [[Fifth Doctor]] receives a summons, and he and Peri land in a castle in medieval [[England]]. He steps out to explore, telling Peri to wait in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. Going through a door, he meets his [[First Doctor|first]] [[Second Doctor|three]] [[Third Doctor|incarnations]]. Not long after that, a [[Sixth Doctor|future incarnation]] arrives, having also been summoned. The five Doctors talk, deciding to play something to pass the time, as they don't know who summoned them all here. The First Doctor pulls out a deck and states that they will play [[poker]] to pass the time. Since he has an injured arm, he deals. He tells the other Doctors that they will play for a golden [[bow]]. As they play, the First Doctor explains what happened to him.

He had gotten the bow as a reward from the emperor of Gallutia, for convincing his enemies to surrender, an event that none of the other Doctors remember, with the exception of the Second Doctor, who only vaguely remembers it. After winning the bow, the First Doctor landed here alone to do some archery practise. On the scanner he saw a [[Mary (Five Card Draw)|girl]] being held by bandits. He rescued her and brought her into the TARDIS. When the bandits ran away, he tried to let the girl out, but was surrounded by men in armour. He closed the door on them. The knights were angry with him for interfering with their bandit pursuit. When he attempted to let the girl, Lady Mary, out of the TARDIS, one of the men claimed he had seen the TARDIS materialise out of thin air. The others were afraid of the Doctor's magical powers. They grabbed him, and were about to kill him, but he was able to escape. He found this castle and closed the drawbridge. The knights followed, then got extra men and surrounded the castle. The Doctor was trapped here, away from his TARDIS.
