The Doctor is bored and whilst he is moping around he notices that the area seems to have an unusually high sray cat population.
He begins to suspect that the cats are not entirely what they seem. As the Doctor is investigating Ace is being chased by a
cheetah on hore back. By the time the Doctor arrives to help she, and the cheetah, have disappeared.
She has been transported to the planet of the Cheetah People, a planet which slowly changes those upon it into Cheetah People.
Ace find many of her friends have been transported also, although some have not survived, and have been mauled and eaten by the
