The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Louise (Helen Goldwyn) to London at the end of the twentieth century. He discovers that young girls are being abducted by sinister cockney magician Lee Hanson and taken to satisfy the needs of his gangster boss, Reggie Knight.

The Doctor attempts to enter Knight's underground hideout by venturing into the tunnels of London's Tube but finds the base guarded by a giant mouse. Unperturbed, and with the assistance of Professor Samantha Litefoot (Lynda Bellingham) and theatrical agent Nick Jago (Nicholas Briggs), the Doctor and Louise must find a way to stop Knight from getting his hands on the TARDIS or the future may end up as crooked as the present...

Can the Doctor put paid to Knight's machinations? Do me a favour...
 

Jago: 'That's my trouble, Litefoot.'
Litefoot: ''What'
Jago: 'Well I'm not awfully... Well, I'm not so bally brave when it comes to it. I try to be but I'm not.'
Litefoot: 'Well when it comes to it, I don't suppose any man is. Fortunately I'm a woman so get out of my way!'
