The Doctor and his companion Leela arrive in Cornwall in the early 20th century, where they investigate a mysterious artifact recently unearthed by a local archaeological team. The artifact, a skull with unusual markings, seems to have a sinister power that unleashes a chain of deadly events.
As the Doctor delves deeper into the history of the skull, he begins to uncover a dark secret that dates back thousands of years. He learns of a powerful alien race known as the Fendahl, who were believed to have been destroyed long ago. But it seems that the Fendahl may have survived, and that their power is now being unleashed upon the unsuspecting inhabitants of Earth.
Meanwhile, a group of scientists studying the artifact begin to experience strange phenomena, and one of them is killed in a gruesome manner.
