'''''The Face of Evil''''' was the fourth serial of [[Season 14 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 14]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. When broadcast, it was originally billed in [[Radio Times/1970s|Radio Times]] as the start of a new series, due to the six-week gap since the final episode of ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]''. As originally broadcast, it in fact followed [[omnibus]] editions of ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'' and ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'', amongst other, unrelated programmes. ([[INFO]]: ''The Face of Evil'') However, this marketing ploy has not been recognised by the BBC—nor has it been propagated in reference books such as ''[[Doctor Who The Handbook: The Fourth Doctor|The Fourth Doctor Handbook]]''. | |||

The Doctor, alone in [[the TARDIS]], arrives on a mysterious [[jungle]] planet which he cannot resist exploring. He soon encounters Leela, a savage from the local tribe. She denounces him as the Evil One of her people's fables. She has been exiled from her tribe, the [[Sevateem]], for profaning their god, the mysterious [[Xoanon]], who speaks to them through the tribe's shaman, Neeva.

Neeva, meanwhile, has sent two men to [[murder]] her, an action witnessed by Leela's friend Tomas. He kills one of them as Leela dispatches the other. In the jungle beyond, she encounters the Doctor, who soon wins her over by defending her from invisible monsters that rampage about, attracted by vibration of any kind. Exploring further, the Doctor finds a sophisticated [[sonic disruptor]]. It creates the [[force field]] that keeps creatures from attacking the village itself. Leela regales him with more folklore; the god Xoanon is kept prisoner by the Evil One and his followers, the [[Tesh]], beyond a strange black wall. | Neeva, meanwhile, has sent two men to [[murder]] her, an action witnessed by Leela's friend Tomas.

The Sevateem have decided to launch an attack on the Tesh to free their god. They are led by the combative Andor, who is determined to free his god. He also believes an attack will unite the people. Andor suspects Neeva of being a false prophet, and Tomas tells him of Neeva's attempted murder of Leela. Still, Andor believes the attack will succeed and is prepared to go ahead. | The Sevateem have decided to launch an attack on the Tesh to free their god.

The Doctor and Leela are soon imprisoned, then escape and find the device used to communicate with Neeva.
