This story is extremely short on plot. It literally is as simple as "Jeff Stone walks around the Dalek city". But it's very, very long on details about Dalek society, culture and technology. Here are some of the highlights:
* The city is awash with lifts that work via pressurised gas — very similar to the kind of technology employed by the [[Silurian]] tribe in ''[[The Hungry Earth (TV story)|The Hungry Earth]]''

* Quite separate from the "command and control" area of the city is a domed building dedicated to Dalek sciences and culture. There, Stone learns that [[Albert Einstein]] based his theories on "Dalek [[cosmology]]", that the Dalek Emperor wrote [[William Shakespeare]]'s body of work, and that Daleks invented the [[Wright Flyer]]. He also sees how Daleks can remove the ego from [[human]]s with their [[schizoid accelerator]] and insert a [[Skaro mesmeristor]] into their [[brain]]s so as to achieve complete control of them.

* Stone finds a booklet in this part of the city called ''[[Anatomy of the Dalek]]''. It's pretty much what it purports to be. Readers of ''[[The Dalek World]]'' were, on the next page of the story, given a fold-out diagram of Dalek anatomy.

* Taking one of the lifts deep into the bowels of the city, Stone discovers a workshop where Daleks are working on a plan to house Daleks in fake [[asteroid]]s so as to orbit the Solar System undetected. He also found finds Daleks using [[Dalek lie detector|a machine]] to extract the truth from a Dalek — the truth that he has seen Jeff Stone lurking around the Dalek city.

* Lastly, Stone finds exhibits in the Museum Stores: from [[Uranus]], a [[fossil]] of an ancient [[Uranian bird man]], and the [[Super Man]] of [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], a race which left the Skaro [[star system]] in the pre-Dalek age.
