Publisher's summary
A loose thread on his spectacular coat ties the Doctor and Mel into complicated knots. With an obstreperous otter and assorted cloned bureaucrats on their coat-tails, they have to unravel a multitude of scams and schemes to get the Doctor's coat – and his TARDIS – back.

Plot
The Doctor and Mel arrive on Kolpasha to get a loose thread on the Doctor's coat fixed at S. Holtons, but they find the city empty. Three months later, the two of them meet up at the spaceport and discuss how Mel had to work as a janitor to make money to pay Holtons, how she gave it all to a shopkeeper when the Doctor accidentally stole his profits and a T-shirt and how the Doctor has since used the profits to pay for the SS Signey shuttle to Golm where the TARDIS has been impounded. Their movements are watched by the various Ernold clones, one of whom places a microcircuit tracker on the Doctor.

The SS Signey is hijacked by a student who intends to take everyone aboard to Evenni to be ransomed to their homeworlds, a scheme which the Helios Fleet is likely in on.
