Publisher's summary
The TARDIS is drawn to a mysterious signal emanating from a seemingly dead world. Trapped within a crystalline structure, the Doctor and his friends inadvertently wake a vast army of robots that have lain dormant for many, many years. Waiting...for the Masters of Luxor.

The Cannibal Flower (1)
Thanks to his recent adjustments to the ship, the Doctor is now ready to bring Ian and Barbara home, to Susan's regret. But just as he is inserting the coordinates, the TARDIS is taken hold by an unknown force, causing it to shake and shiver; the travellers are all tossed to the ground and the Doctor hits his head against the console.

When they regain knowledge, the quartet sees on the scanner that the TARDIS has landed on a seemingly dead world. The only other thing there aside from them is a gigantic dome-shaped metallic structure, hanging in the sky. The Doctor brings the TARDIS closer to it, but as it approaches, the structure opens and attracts the ship inside it, while the power of the TARDIS starts diminishing. Ian and Susan go out to explore where they got to, while the Doctor and Barbara remain inside the ship, in an attempt to save it.

In the dome, Ian and Susan find themselves in a large banquet hall, complete with a table where all sorts of food and drinks are disposed, and two gongs. Susan argues that they are landed into an outpost of some advanced civilization, and that food has been prepared for eventual travellers arriving there. She goes out in the adjacent corridor while Ian presses some buttons on two of the chairs in the room: suddenly, gigantic humanoid robots appear in front of Susan.

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Barbara's attempts to save the ship prove unsuccessful, and eventually the TARDIS dies completely, only retaining its dimensional trascendentalism. The Doctor only manages to discover a signal in the circuits of the ship, proving that they had been recalled here by the machine they are inside now; Barbara then guesses that this same machine is feeding on the TARDIS' power, just like a cannibal flower. Upon hearing the news, Ian decides to act so they finally meet their new "masters", and Susan prepares to eat one of the dishes at the table, hoping it's not poisoned.
