At a spaceport on planet [[Inter Minor]], travelling aliens [[Vorg]] and [[Shirna]] arrive and set up the [[Miniscope]], a device inside which miniaturised creatures exist inside miniature versions of their natural habitats. Although Vorg's intentions aren't hostile, the natives greet him with suspicion and they deny him an entrance visa. | At a spaceport on planet [[Inter Minor]], travelling aliens [[Vorg]] and [[Shirna]] arrive and set up the [[Miniscope]], a device inside which miniaturised creatures exist inside miniature versions of their natural habitats.

Vorg pulls the "bit of bric-a-brac" (the TARDIS) out, but sticks it back inside the machine. Later, Vorg shows the mistrusting natives [[Pletrac]], [[Kalik]] and [[Orum]] some of the creatures inside the scope, including [[Ogron]]s, [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]], [[Tellurian]]s and [[Drashig]]s, huge deadly carnivores. As the tribunal members watch the events within the human environment, Vorg shows them the machine's capabilities by adjusting a dial which amplifies the specimens' hostility. | Vorg pulls the "bit of bric-a-brac" (the TARDIS) out, but sticks it back inside the machine.

The Doctor attacks the Drashigs using the [[sonic screwdriver]], and he and Jo run for their lives, enough to reach the inner circuitry again. The Doctor realises they are in a MiniScope, explaining that earlier in his life he convinced the [[Time Lord]]s to ban the use of MiniScopes. Jo is horrified that anyone would use such a device. They are troubled to find out that the Drashigs haven't given up their pursuit, and have broken into the circuitry as well. The pair find a deep shaft which leads to the bottom of the circuitry and the way out, so they return to the ''Bernice'' circuit to fetch a rope. Jo is caught by Andrews again, who has once again forgotten they have previously met. | The Doctor attacks the Drashigs using the [[sonic screwdriver]], and he and Jo run for their lives, enough to reach the inner circuitry again.

There is commotion on Inter Minor as the Doctor grows to his normal size. The Doctor confronts the tribunal about their allowing the Scope on their planet, and is horrified that Vorg and Shirna are more concerned with claiming insurance on the loss of livestock than saving the lives inside the Scope. The Doctor ventures back inside the machine, while Kalik and Orum sabotage the eradicator to leave the city defenceless against the Drashigs, who finally escape and grow to formidable size. Fortunately, Vorg repairs the [[Eradicator]] and turns it on the Drashigs, but not before they eat Kalik. | There is commotion on Inter Minor as the Doctor grows to his normal size.
