The TARDIS arrives in the year 2540 on board an Earth freighter which comes under attack. The crew seem to think that the Doctor and Jo, along with the other attackers, are Draconians - a reptilian race who are the major rivals to Earth's empire. The Doctor and Jo, however, can see that the attackers are really Ogrons - the ape-like heavies employed by the Daleks in "[[Doctor Who
The Ogrons overwhelm the shop and steal the cargo, including the TARDIS. The Doctor and Jo are accused of being Draconian spies. The Doctor is sent to a penal colony, while Jo is placed in the care of "the Commissioner from Sirius 4" - actually the Master. The Master rescues the Doctor from the penal colony and imprisons him and Jo aboard his stolen spacecraft, revealing he plans to spark a war between Earth and Draconia using Ogron mercenaries and a hypnotic device that makes the spaceship crews perceive them as whatever they most fear.

The Doctor escapes and manages to get the two ambassadors away before being injured in the confusion. Jo helps him to the TARDIS as he sends a telepathic message to the Time Lords.
* [[Character Outlives Actor]]: Roger Delgado was to make one last appearance after this serial as The Master in a story where he ultimately [[Heroic Sacrifice|gives his life]] [[Redemption Equals Death|to save the Doctor and the universe]].

* [[False
* [[Feudal Future]]: The Draconians feature an emperor and nobles.
* [[General Ripper]]: The crazy and paranoid General Williams is one of these, as contrasted to the more reasonable Earth President. Subverted later on in the story however, as it turns out that the incident that led to his hatred of the Draconians actually came about from a misunderstanding, and from then on he acts far more reasonably towards them.
* [[Hijacked
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: Unfortunately for the Master, Jo has learnt how to resist this, by filling her mind with [[Nursery Rhyme|nursery rhymes]]
* [[Letting the Air Out of
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: The Master is revealed as the Ogrons' employer.

* [[The Master (trope)|The Master]]
* [[Mind Probe]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Both the president and the emperor.
* [[Right Makes Might]]: The Master claims that he's not afraid at one point due to this trope. Since he's very much in the wrong, it's really the tracking signal on him that his minions are following that reassures him.
* [[Space Cold War]]
* [[War for Fun
* [[Whip It Good]]: The Doctor chasing the Master around a spaceship with a belt. Yes.
* [[Wutai]]: Draconia is basically feudal Japan in space with reptile people.
