Summary
The TARDIS lands in the town of Hamelin in 1284, in the realm of the Pied Piper. Dr. Who, John and Gillian meet the children of Hamelin, who were taken away by the Pied Piper after the Mayor of Hamelin refused to pay him the promised one thousand guilders for ridding the town of rats. The children now want to go home, so Dr. Who and his grandchildren go to see the Pied Piper to try to persuade him. But the Pied Piper will only do this if Dr. Who takes and passes three tests. If Dr. Who succeeds, the children can go home; if not, Dr. Who and his grandchildren will be imprisoned in the Pied Piper's castle dungeons for the rest of their lives.
