Newly regenerated, with a terrible fear that his life has become a 16 story ever-repeating loop on a little known Cable channel, the Doctor (Tom Baker) tries to learn who would steal super secret military plans, equipment, and codes. Ok, almost anyone would steal such things if they could, just to prove that they could, but who would be able to break into security compounds without the use of oxygen?
