Stan, Natasha, and Tuck are captured by spearmen. Judging the architecture and clothing, Natasha guesses it to be Egypt during the 18th Dynasty (around 1350 BC). The group is brought to a palace on the edge of the desert. Natasha is taken away and put in the King's horde of slave women. Stan and Tuck are held captive in a small building. Beacuse the TARDIS is still on Alpha, none of the group can understand what these ancient Egyptians are saying. Natasha is brought before King Ikhnaton and Queen Nefertiti. The King is holding an audience with the local chieftains and the slave girls are there to dance and entertain. Meanwhile, Stan and Tuck find that they can suddenly understand what the Egyptians are saying. Exactly how is a mystery. Stan and Tuck are rescued by a spearman named Mannro. He has given the guards Broth of Oblivion and they are fast asleep. Mannro leads Stan and Tuck to a series of crypts where they hide out. Mannro explains that King Ikhnaton is worshipping Set and the underworld. They plan a raid on the palace to rescue Natasha. They arrive at the audience chamber when Ikhnaton is in the middle of summoning Set, or Sutekh as he calls him. Stan finds Natasha and they escape back to the crypts. Mannro says they must go to the pyramid and trap Sutekh before he materializes. They arrive at the pyramid and find a ante-chamber that has obviously been set up by an advanced alien species. The power source for the trap is called the Eye of Horus. The group triggers the trap, and the newly materialized Sutekh becomes trapped in the chamber. They escape but Mannro is injured. The group returns to the palace to find carnage everywhere. Ikhnaton is possessed by Sutekh and has killed nearly everyone in the palace. He is holding Nefertiti hostage. A battle ensues and a stray shot from Natasha's laser pistol knocks part of the stone wall onto Ikhnaton, destroying the mind controlling amulet he was wearing. As that part of the palace collapses, the group escapes. Nefertiti thanks the group and allows them to leave. Mannro leads the group to some old caves where there is a magician's cabinet waiting. They step inside the TARDIS and Stan is shocked to see his second incarnation. Mannro turns into Stan's old companion Norman, a shapeshifter. Stan's second incarnation says that their other selves need their help.
