Description
The Tardis is malfunctioning, so the Doctor must make a stop on Varos to obtain a supply of a rare mineral, zeiton 7. Varos, once a prison planet, is ruled by descendants of the original guards who oversee the operations of the miners. The planet is being extorted by the Galactic Mining Corporation, and the people are in near-poverty in this authoritarian society. The guards hold the real power, while the figurehead governor is subjected to numerous "viewer voter ratings" which judge the popularity of his decisions and punish him accordingly. Enough negative votes and a governor is disrupted at the cellular level. When the Doctor and Peri arrive, they end up aiding a rebel to escape who is sentenced to die. Pursued by the guards through a maze-like dungeon with technological terrors at every turn, the Doctor must escape this nightmarish world, but only after he is able to locate a sufficient quantity of the zeiton 7.
