The Doctor, Romana and K9 face new dangers searching for the second segment to the Key to Time. What has happened to the planet it is hidden on?

Instead of landing on Calufrax as originally intended, they arrive on a different planet and encounter the Mentiads, and the strange Captain.

In Aztecs, Barbara is mistaken for a god, and tries to use her influence to alter the course of history. In Pirate Planet, the Doctor and Romana land at precisely the right place at precisely the right time ... on the wrong planet!
