Summary
The Doctor and Frobisher land on the remote planet of Actinon, but find one of its barbarian tribes ruled by a Draconian called Kaon. His ship crash-landed there many years before and only he and his wife survived. However, his wife died in childbirth and Kaon has raised his daughter alone. Unfortunately, she has now been taken hostage by an enemy leader called Vegar. The Doctor agrees to help Kaon, to avoid bloodshed, and uses the TARDIS to get inside Vegar’s castle.

As they attempt to free Kaon’s daughter Kara, the Doctor learns that Kaon is using a frontal assault by his men to distract Vegar’s attentions. But Vegar is waiting for them in the dungeon. Kaon is fatally wounded by Vegar, but kills Vegar before he dies. Kara refuses to leave with the Doctor and Frobisher.
