Publisher’s summary[]
Doom’s next mission is sent in by the target’s father. A family feud? Or is there something more sinister going on at an abandoned film studio?
Plot[]
Landing in 1930s Hollywood, Doom finds a movie set empty of people, wondering where everyone is, pondering they could all be on tea break at the same time.
Entering a pub, she finds the entire building full of Cybermen, deciding to run off. Followed by Cybermen in all sorts of costumes, she runs into the costume department, exclaiming that either Universal Pictures had become really good or something wasn’t right.
She exclaims that she needs to find her target fast and wait for Terri to send new missions, and sees a poster with her target, "Polly Church in Queen for a Day", wondering what she’s done. Entering her makeup room, she finds a Cyber-converted Polly, and figures it must be mercy kill. Pulling a water pistol as more Cybermen approach, she sprays them with plastic, realising it does nothing. Doom runs again.
She finds a big box of explosives, hoping she’s like Gary Cooper, and decides to blow up the Cybermen with them, as the vortex manipulator goes off and Doom travels to the next location.

Notes[]
- This story takes place across Hour 0400.
- The weapon that Doom is brandishing in the cover of the Doctor Who Magazine supplement Four Hours of Doom's Day, appears to resemble a sonic blaster similar to the one owned by Jack Harkness. However, no such blaster appears in this or any of the other three stories within. The same gun seemingly makes a reappearance on the comic-style cover of DD 1, the first issue of A Doctor in the House?.
