plot synopsis
When the Doctor and Ace are attacked, while they are quietly listening to some live jazz at a riverside Inn, they realise someone is controlling the men responsible. The mystery deepens as the Cyber men, the 17th century Lady Peinforte and her man servant Richard, and a group of modern-day Nazis, led by De Flores, all congregate in England, 1988, in search of the nemesis statue. The statue is a validium based Gallifreyan artefact that is, in effect, a powerful living metal. The Doctor and Ace have to out manoeuvre all three parties to ensure the statue does not fall into the wrong hands. .
