Opening narration box
The TARDIS has brought the Doctor to an empty building on a barren alien world...

Summary
The Doctor's arrival at a computer-controlled prison on an abandoned planet which has laid silent for centuries does not go undetected. He activates the automatic defence system. Dodging spears, flooding chambers, laser beams, fire and gaseous guards (who are disposed of by a cloud of dust the Doctor generates), the Doctor finds and overloads the cell security.

As the auto-repairs kick in, he ponders who could have been in the empty cell and how he managed to escape. Safely back in the TARDIS, the Doctor leaves. However a warning flashes on a screen that the prisoner and an unknown accomplice have escaped. The instruction is issued to pursue and destroy.
