plot synopsis
On the planet Kembel, an agent of the Space Security Service, called Marc Cory, unearths evidence of the Daleks plotting to stage a concentrated attack on the solar system. His crew are killed one by one, by both the deadly Vaaga plants and the Daleks, and when the Daleks track him down he is exterminated, but the tape recording of his findings survives
