The time travellers work desperately to both escape the Dalek city and prevent a bloody massacre.

The time travellers have escaped from the Daleks, but left a vital piece of the TARDIS behind. Getting it back will mean pushing the Thals to mount a dangerous operation.

Ian, Barbara and the Thals struggle through the caves to reach the Dalek city. Will they get there in time? Is there even a way through the treacherous caves? And what are the Daleks planning?

Time is running out as the Doctor and his companions try to defeat the Daleks before they wipe out all life on Skaro.
