The Doctor and Leela arrive on the planet Kaldor, where they find a society dependent on benign and obedient robots.

The only other people who know the truth are the three survivors from that Sandminer – and now they are being picked off one by one. The twisted genius behind that massacre is dead, but someone is developing a new, deadlier breed of robots.
