Synopsis
A ship which stored a number of aliens crash lands on Earth and Sarah is left to investigate.

The Beginning
A pilot from the planet Ven Kyuk Nar works together with an alien called the Krulius. They are travelling through the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars when the space ship of the pilot crashes on Earth. The Krulius leaves the pilot to die, but the pilot is saved by Sarah and Luke Smith.

The Ending
Sarah and Luke take the pilot to the attic of 13 Bannerman Road. However, he Krulius soon appears at the attic and wants to attack Sarah. When the pilot tries to help Sarah, the Krulius uses his toxic breath to hurt the pilot. Then he teleports the pilot, Sarah and himself to the Doloth Star Base, where he wants to kill them. After this he wants to destroy Earth. However, Sarah used her sonic lipstick to send a signal to Mr Smith before she was teleported away. Mr Smith informs the Judoon about the location of the Krulius. It takes only a short time until the Judoon arrive on the Doloth Star Base. They take the Krulius with them and bring Sarah Jane back to Earth. The pilot, who is still weak and suffering of the toxic shock, also needs to come with the Judoon, because the Judoon need him for evidence.
