   The TARDIS lands in 1289 where the time-travellers meet Marco Polo who is
 on his way to Kublai Khan's court in Peking. He is accompanied by a warlord
 named Tegana, a peace emissary from a rival Mongol leader and a Chinese
 girl called Ping-Cho. Marco Polo forces the Doctor to join the caravan,
 hoping to present the TARDIS to Kublai Khan. Tegana also wants the TARDIS
 and attempts to steal the ship, thinking it can fly. Tegana tries to poison
 the party's water supply and drills holes in their water barrels, then
 escapes on the last horse. Because of the intense night cold, condensation
 forms on the TARDIS and the party survives.
   Upon arriving in Peking, the Doctor meets Kublai Khan and plays him at
 backgammon. At first, the Doctor plays well and wins 35 elephants, 4000
 horses and 25 tigers but soon the tide turns and he gambles away the TARDIS.
 When he exposes Tegana and saves Khan's life, the TARDIS keys are returned
 to him.
