 COMPANIONS:- Steven and Dodo.

   The Doctor and his companions land on a barren sandy planet inhabited
 by two races, the Elders and the Savages. The TARDIS crew are taken to the
 Elders' capital to meet Jano, leader of the city. The Elders appear to
 have reached the peak of civilisation being strong, healthy, intelligent
 and tanned. In contrast, the Savages are a pale, timid folk eking out an
 existence and living in fear of the Elders.
   Dodo and Steven are taken on a tour of the Elders city and Dodo wanders
 off. She comes across a laboratory where the Elders' secret is revealed.
 They are strong and vibrant because they are draining the life force and
 energy from the Savages.
   The Doctor refuses to believe this story until Jano drains some of his
 life force into his body. Jano inherits some of the characteristics of the
 Doctor and develops a conscience. He goes to the Savages and leads them in
 an attack to destroy the transferrence lab. The Elders and Savages choose
 Steven to be their leader and the Doctor and Dodo leave him to his task.
