| Summary |
Varos is a planet ruled by fear and increasing poverty. As its inhabitants cower by their video screens, gleaning their meager entertainment from public executions scheduled within the mysterious Punishment Dome, the ruling officers enjoy a life of luxury, fat on their profits from the planet's major export -- the rare substance, Zyton-7. It is into this hellhole which the Doctor and Peri must go, as Zyton-7 is the only cure for the ailing Tardis' transpower system. |
