The 1st Doctor, Steven, and Dodo take center stage this week. First up, in the distant future, an enormous ship is taking the survivors of the human race away from the doomed planet Earth. The Doctor's visit may result in the destruction of humanity. Later in the week, the Doctor's search for a dentist takes him to 1881 Arizona, where a notorious gunfighter has set up shop as a dentist. Sadly for everyone, it appears that the Clanton's will not let a man of war lead a life of peace. The Doctor and company find themselves caught in the crossfire.
