The Doctor (Peter Davison) is mistaken for a winning cricket player when he arrives in 1925 England just before a big match. Soon he and his fellow time travelers find themselves at team owner Lord Cranleigh's (Michael Cochrane) country mansion, being pampered like celebrities. But a series of murders put a damper on the celebration, and it gradually becomes clear that Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) may be the killer's next target.
