The
TARDIS is stolen from Gatwick Airport and driven off in a lorry. The Doctor
and Jamie follow it to a Victoriana antique shop owned by Edward Waterfield.
All three are transported back 199 years to the home of scientist Theodore
Maxtible, who, with Waterfield's help, has devised a method of time-travel
involving mirrors, static electricity - and the Daleks!
The Daleks are holding Waterfield's daughter, Victoria, hostage so he
is obliged to cooperate in their plan to bring the Doctor back to 1866. The
Daleks want to acquire what they call 'the Human factor' to create an
army of super-Daleks. They force the Doctor to run an experiment on Jamie
registering every emotion he shows in his attempts to rescue Victoria.
The plan backfires as the three experimental Daleks adopt attitudes of
playful friendliness instead of Human cunning. All are recalled
to Skaro where the Emperor Dalek reveals the true purpose of the experiment.
He now plans to inject the Doctor with the 'Dalek factor' which he will
take back to Earth, and turn its inhabitants into Dalek-like creatures
with the impulse to destroy. The Doctor is passed through a machine for
transforming humans into mental Daleks - but remains unaffected, for he
is not Human. Instead, he manages to humanize some of the Daleks.
Soon civil war erupts on Skaro between humanized Daleks and real Daleks.
Maxtible, mentally turned into a Dalek-like creature, is killed; Victoria's
father saves the Doctor at the cost of his own life. The travelers depart
whilst the war rages on ...
