plot synopsis
The crew of an undersea base on Earth in the 21st century are continually on edge, due to the never-ending threat of nuclear attack by a rival power bloc. The TARDIS arrives, and the Doctor not only has to overcome the problems caused by enemy spies trying to sabotage Sea Base Four, but also an invasion attempt by the combined forces of the Sea Devils and the Silurians. Their plan is to trigger a nuclear war, which would cleanse the Earth, and allow them to claim it as their own world once again...
