The TARDIS is stolen from Gatwick Airport and driven off in a lorry. The Doctor and Jamie follow it to a Victoriana antique shop owned by Edward Waterfield.  All three are transported back 199 years to the home of scientist Theodore Maxtible, who, with Waterfield's help, has devised a method of time-travel involving mirrors, static electricity - and the Daleks! The Daleks are holding Waterfield's daughter, Victoria, hostage so he is obliged to cooperate in their plan to bring the Doctor back to 1866. The Daleks want to acquire what they call 'the Human factor' to create an army of super-Daleks. They force the Doctor to run an experiment on Jamie registering every emotion he shows in his attempts to rescue Victoria. The plan backfires as the three experimental Daleks adopt attitudes of playful friendliness instead of  Human cunning. All are recalled to Skaro where the Emperor Dalek reveals the true purpose of the experiment. He now plans to inject the Doctor with the 'Dalek factor' which he will take back to Earth, and turn its inhabitants into Dalek-like creatures with the impulse to destroy. The Doctor is passed through a machine for transforming humans into mental Daleks - but remains unaffected, for he is not Human.  Instead, he manages to humanize some of the Daleks.  Soon civil war erupts on Skaro between humanized Daleks and real Daleks. Maxtible, mentally turned into a Dalek-like creature, is killed; Victoria's father saves the Doctor at the cost of his own life. The travelers depart whilst the war rages on ...

Patrick Troughton and Deborah Watling were on holiday during episode 4 and appear only on pre-filmed inserts.

Episode 2 exists as a 16mm telerecording, as recovered in 1987 from a private sale in England. All other episodes are lost.

Episode 7 - Patrick Troughton stutters amusingly when he says: "I wonder what the doo-daleks are d-doing."
