Returning to a jungle planet that he visited long ago, the Doctor finds that he has been immortalised in its culture as their “Evil One”. A giant carving of his head has been hewn into a mountainside, and behind it sits a schizophrenic computer with delusions of godhood served by the preposterously-clad Tesh. Meanwhile, in the wilderness populated by invisible creatures, lurk the enemies of the Tesh: the savage and superstitious tribe of the Sevateem. In Leela, a Sevateem warrior who dares to question the mighty "God", the Doctor will find a new companion.
