Three alien ambassadors visited [[Earth]] some time after making contact with a [[human]] exploration mission on [[Mars]], where one astronaut named [[Jim Daniels]] was accidentally killed because the ambassadors had no way of knowing their touch was fatal to humans. [[Carrington (The Ambassadors of Death)|Carrington]], the surviving astronaut from that mission, by then a high-ranking [[Great Britain|British]] army officer, kidnapped the ambassadors.

This plan was defeated by the [[Third Doctor]] and the ambassadors were returned.
