The Welsh mining village of Llanfairfach is of little interest to the [[Third Doctor]], who would rather take a challenging visit to the blue planet of [[Metebelis III]] than a trip to South [[Wales]]. However, [[Jo Grant]] reads a startling newspaper article about a corporate facility that is gearing up to cause a huge amount of pollution. She is keen to go to the village to meet the acclaimed environmentalist and [[Nobel Prize]] winner Professor Clifford Jones. | The Welsh mining village of Llanfairfach is of little interest to the [[Third Doctor]], who would rather take a challenging visit to the blue planet of [[Metebelis III]] than a trip to South [[Wales]].

[[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] arrives and tries to assign a murder investigation mission to the Doctor and Jo, but the Doctor firmly tells him no repeatedly, as he wants to be off to [[Metebelis III]]. Jo pleads her case with the Brigadier over the events she wants to deal with firsthand, but Jo is not impressed with the Brigadier's siding with the corporate giant. She passionately protests that she would even quit UNIT if it interfered with her ability to go there firsthand. Luckily, Lethbridge-Stewart's mission was to visit the facility — he is intrigued enough by the death of a bright green miner to drive her down. The miner was found in a disused mine, and the main source of employment in the village is now the [[Global Chemicals]] petroleum factory. Its boss, [[Stevens]], promises prosperity for all, but Professor Jones and the other environmentalists at his "[[Nuthutch]]" are unconvinced. In light of the protests, Stevens accepts the Brigadier's offer of additional security at his factory. | [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] arrives and tries to assign a murder investigation mission to the Doctor and Jo, but the Doctor firmly tells him no repeatedly, as he wants to be off to [[Metebelis III]].
