Synopsis: A mysterious Player gathers the first three incarnations
of the Doctor, along with Susan, the Brigadier and Sarah Jane Smith,
and dumps them inside the Death Zone on Gallifrey. However, the fourth
Doctor and Romana become trapped in a time eddy, hereby endangering the
existence of the Fifth Doctor, who has no choice but to travel to the
Zone, with Tegan and Turlough. Meanwhile, the High Council have become
aware that the Death Zone has been reactivated, and is draining energy
from thr Eye of Harmony. They enlist the help of the Master to rescue
the Doctor, but he too becomes a prisoner of the Game. The various
Doctors encounter a Dalek, a Yeti, the Cybermen, the incredibly fas
Raston Warrior Robot, and even the phantom images of other Companions,
on their way to the Dark Tower, to Tomb of Rassilon, where they eventually
defeat the Master. Meanwhile the Fifth Doctor has used the Master's
recall device to get to the Citadel, where he exposes the Player's identity:
President Borusa, who wants the Secret of Immortality, which is locked
within Rassilon's Tomb. The President and the Five Doctors eventually
come face to face in the Tomb. The Spirit of Rassilon appears and offers
Borusa his prize, but it is the immortality of a living statue.
Rassilon then sends everyone back to his own time, and the Fifth Doctor
flees rather than be made President again.
