The TARDIS lands on a beach near Cape Arid in Australia in the year 2030, and  upon arrival the time travelers are attacked by a hovercraft, then rescued by a helicopter, flown by the female pilot Astrid Ferrier, who takes them to her bungalow in the Cedar district. The Doctor meets her boss, Giles Kent explains that the Doctor is a double of a would-be world dictator, a Mexican called Salamander.  Jamie and Victoria travel with Astrid to the Central European Zone where they infiltrate Salamander's inner circle of supporters and discovers he is the instigator of the 'natural' volcanic disasters sweeping the world.  But they are captured, and to organize thier rescue, the Doctor has to impersonate Salamander.  He penetrates the villain's headquarters frees Jamie and Victoria and is then confronted by Kent, whom they recognize as Salamander's partner, and reveal Kent's true motives.  As the travelers escape,  Kent heads to the tunnels and meets Salamander, and the Mexican shoots him dead.  Back in the TARDIS, Jamie and Victoria wait for the Doctor, who arrives and indicates silently for them to depart.  Jamie suspects something is not right , and these are suspicions are confirmed when the real Doctor arrives.  Salamander activates the TARDIS' controls and sends the TARDIS spinning out of control,- but with the doors still open, he is ejected out into space.

Episode 3 - Practically every sound in this episode has been redubbed and as a result is out of synch - sometimes quite badly. An example is when Milton Johns has his thugs break into Giles Kent's trailer - there's a three-second lag between the breaking of the plates and the sounds they make.
Episode 4 - Listen up for when Colin Douglas manages to mix up his lines (asking the right questions in the wrong order) and gets a series of puzzled silences from his co-stars.
