STORY:

Following on from the previous adventure the Doctor and Jamie are trying to trace the TARDIS after it was driven away on the back of a lorry. The TARDIS has been stolen by antiques dealer Edward Waterfield, and the Doctor gets suspicious about anqtiques that look too new.

The Doctor and Jamie are lead into a trap and are taken back in time to 1867 where they find that Waterfield, and his associate Theodore Maxtibale, have a found a way to travel back in time. During an experiment with the time travel machine a Dalek appeared.

The Daleks have kidnapped Waterfield's daughter, Victoria, and are forcing him to work for them. They plan to isolate the human factor which allows humans to always defeat the Daleks. The Doctor extracts this and implants into three Daleks, and the result is three friendly and playful Daleks.

The Daleks take the Doctor back to Skaro, and the Doctor learns the Daleks' real aim is to implant humans with the Dalek factor. The Doctor manages to implant the human factor into more Daleks and a civil war breaks out in which the Daleks are apparently destroyed. Waterfield is killed by the Daleks, and the Doctor offers Victoria a place aboard the TARDIS.
