Summery[]
The Madar, a South American tribe, are praying for help to their gods to protect them from their enemies when the TARDIS materialises in the place where their idol is standing and knocks it over. The tribe thus begins to worship the TARDIS, the Doctor and his grandchildren. The Doctor agrees to help the tribe by making fireworks from gunpowder. The attackers are scared off and the Doctor tracks them back to their home village. Their witch doctor explains that he knows how the gunpowder trick worked. The Doctor, listening in, realises that he will have to think of a new plan to keep 'his' tribe safe.
He gets them to dig traps around their, including one with a jaguar. The enemy tribe sends an army of a thousand men, but they are confounded by the traps and retreat. The Doctor's followers tell him that they now feel able to defend themselves rather than calling on 'gods' to protect them. The Doctor and his grandchildren leave.
