As a student at the Academy on Gallifrey, the Doctor lost a friend to the malevolent and mysterious force known as the Celestial Toymaker. Many years and five incarnations later, the Doctor receives a telepathic call from his long lost friend, begging him for help.

As he sets out to rescue his friend and exact revenge, the Doctor's companions become increasingly involved. Adric, determined to justify his place aboard the TARDIS, opts to face the Toymaker's game challenges while Nyssa, angered by the Doctor's actions, finds herself excluded by the people she thought were her friends.

And what is the connection between the Toymaker and the planet Dymok, whose comatose inhabitants find a new saviour in the shape of Tegan Jovanka?
