The Doctor and Mel are playing [[Monopoly (game)|monopoly]]. The TARDIS is off course due to the Doctor accidentally turning on the wide range distress transceiver, and the TARDIS therefore picking up and following a distress signal. They materialise to a party on [[Generios 1]], the central planet of the Generios System at the centre of an intergalactic trade empire. The Doctor complains that he's always the one having to sort out people's problems. Stepping outside, they ask citizen [[Sokkery]] why they are all celebrating; he tells them that 'The Doctor', the mysterious, legendary [[Time Lord]] who travels the universe righting wrongs with his assistant, has banished the evil [[Skelloid|Skelloids]]. The Doctor is certain it wasn't his doing. | |||
The '[[Banto Zame|Doctor]]' is talking to Councillor [[Potikol]], who asks him to recount how he defeated the Skelloids. As the crowds outside chant for their saviour the 'Doctor', he explains how he realised that the Skelloids' lifecycles rely on the absorption of [[hydrogen]], and so inverting the core of their [[Hydrogen stabiliser|hydrogen stabilisilers]] (with the help of his [[psychic screwdriver]], and his companion, [[Sally-Anne Stubbins|Sally-Anne]]) took care of them. The 'Doctor' and Sally-Anne say they must be off, but they want a reward- some Pluvon Power Crystals, to run their [[STARDIS]]. There are none left in the Generios Empire, so instead they ask for 100 million credits in cash to buy some. The councillor seems a little uncertain, and the 'Doctor' protests, but Sally-Anne talks him into taking the money. | |||
The pair then cackle about their scam going so well- the 'Doctor' is actually [[Banto Zame]], a con artist, as is Sally-Anne. Meanwhile, the crowd is banging on their doors, and they meet Sokkery again, who shows them a newspaper with the 'Doctor' on the front. The Doctor and Mel have a plan to get in to see them. The Councillor returns to tell Sally-Anne that the great computers that control their banks is being "influenced" by a piece of space debris that has drifted into their system. Banto and Sally-Anne flirt after the Councillor leaves to get a drudge to destroy the debris. Pretending to faint gets the Doctor and Mel taken inside to recuperate, and they slip off to find the fake Doctor. The space dredger has been destroyed. | |||
The real Doctor and Mel find Banto and Sally-Anne, but the con artists accuse them of being other con-artists, running a similar con (pretending to be the Doctor, faking an alien invasion, 'stopping' the invasion, and ask for compensation). The Doctor orders them to stop, but then the Councillor bursts in, and Banto tells him that the real Doctor and Mel are overzealous fans. They are dragged away while the Doctor rants and raves. The Councillor tells Banto and Sally-Anne about the space debris that is still intact, and is heading straight for them. They need the Doctor's help. | |||
The Doctor and Mel are put in a cell until the Councillor can decide what to do with them. | |||
