The [[White Guardian]] asks the Doctor to complete a task for him - to find the six segments of the [[Key to Time]], an immensely powerful cube which maintains the equilibrium of time. The segments are hidden throughout the cosmos, though they can be located using a locator and the help of a new assistant, a [[Time Lady]] named [[Romanadvoratrelundar]], whom the Doctor calls Romana. Before the Doctor embarks on the quest, he is warned that there is a [[Black Guardian]] who also covets the Key. | [[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] is busy planning a holiday to [[Halergan 3]] when the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] goes dark and a mysterious voice summons him from outside.

Meanwhile, on Ribos, [[Garron]] and [[Unstoffe]] are atop a parapet of the castle of [[Shur]] that houses the planet's crown jewels. As guards in the vault extinguish the lights and secure the room, Unstoffe drops a chunk of drugged meat into the chamber, then lowers a ladder.
