When scientists start to go missing in the 20th century, the Doctor is called in by the Brigadier to investigate. His investigations lead him to deduce that they are being kidnapped through time and he sets off in pursuit, unknowingly kidnapping journalist Sarah Jane Smith in the process. Arriving in the middle ages, the Doctor and Sarah find themselves caught up in the machinations of the robber baron Irongron and his man from the stars. The alien, a Sontaran named Linx, is arming him with modern weapons in return for helping him repair his damaged ship, and it's up to the Doctor and Sarah to stop him from ruining the Earth's timeline.

Still sort of vaguely attached to the United Nations specialist outfit "UNIT", the "Doctor" (Jon Pertwee) arrives to meet with the "Brigadier" (Nicholas Courtney) and discuss some mysteriously vanishing scientists. He sets up a tracking mechanism and is swiftly heading to find out what is going on. What he doesn't know is that the enthusiastic journalist "Sarah Jane" (Elisabeth Sladen) has stowed away on the TARDIS. Not only that, but they are back in medieval England and amidst a conflict between "Irongron" (David Daker) and "Edward of Wessex" (Alan Rowe). To make matters even worse, it transpires that he is not the only futuristic visitor. "Linx" has crashed his "Sontaran" ship and needs to get it repaired so he can get back to his intergalactic warmongering. To that end, he has done a deal with "Irongron" to provide him with powerful weapons (i.e. muskets) in exchange for assistance. When "LInx" realises it's the legendary "Doctor" on his trail, things become rather more menacing for all concerned. It's good for the production to get out of Television Centre for much of this, and it gives us plenty of axe-wielding, bows and arrows at a castle complete with a dungeon. The arrival of the feisty Sladen also breathes some new life into the series, too. There are just the four parts to this, and that helps keep the story moving along quickly and entertainingly as the battle of wits between the two extra-terrestrials hots up and the warring families have a good old stink-bomb fight!
