Full of energy but a touch erratic after his regeneration, the Doctor's recuperation is cut short as UNIT investigate a spate of robberies involving components for a top-secret disintegrator gun. The culprit is quickly identified as a highly sophisticated robot built by Professor Kettlewell, but was is the sinister agenda of the Scientific Reform Society? And can the Doctor rescue Sarah from the robot's clutches and avert catastrophe?
