The Doctor lands on the planet Dido in the year 2493. He finds a crashed
spaceship with two survivors, a disabled man called Bennett and a young
girl, Vicki.
Bennett tells the Doctor that the crew of the ship were murdered by the
locals and Vicki says that a native, Koquillion, is protecting them from
further harm. The Doctor is suspicious of this story and challenges
Koquillion, who is revealed to be Bennett in disguise. Bennett confesses to
murdering the crew and the Didonians to cover up his previous murder of a
crewman. He plans to take Vicki, ignorant of his crimes, back to Earth to
testify to his innocence.
However, two Didonian survivors appear and scare Bennett into falling
from a cliff to his death. The Doctor invites Vicki to join the TARDIS
crew and she accepts.
