He turns to run but something has grabbed his legs. He screams...) [SCENE_BREAK] 2: EXT. SWAMP (His scream carries to the camp. The party jumps up...) GANATUS: Stay here! (He and IAN run to the lake leaving BARBARA and the other Thals behind, wondering what awaits their companions at the lakeside...) [SCENE_BREAK] 3: EXT. THE LAKE OF MUTATIONS (One water-bag remains on the bank...) (...and this is discovered when IAN and GANATUS arrive at the lakeside. Despite GANATUS'S previous order, BARBARA and KRISTAS arrive at the scene. They all see the remains of the other water-bags drifting on the lake itself in the last slow swirls of the whirlpool from which small bubbles of air erupt to the surface.

SUMMARY:
The TARDIS has brought the travellers to the planet Skaro where they meet two indigenous races - the Daleks, malicious mutant creatures encased in armoured travel machines, and the Thals, beautiful humanoids with pacifist principles. They convince the Thals of the need to fight for their own survival. Joining forces with them and braving Skaro's many dangers, they launch a two-pronged attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks are all killed when, during the course of the fighting, their power supply is cut off.
