Intro: Tonight, The Doctor and Leela encounter a brilliant Chinese illusionist and his dummy, Mr. Sin. This is just the beginning of a long chain of bizarre events which will lead them to "The Talons of Weng-Chiang."

Outro: Next week, The Doctor will battle for his life against a warped war criminal from the 51st century. Be with us next Sunday night at 11:00 for the astonishing conclusion of "The Talons of Weng-Chiang." [source: ChicagoEpguides]
