Inside, the humans relax in luxury, while most of the work is done by the robots who serve them.

Then the Doctor and Leela arrive - and the mysterious deaths begin. First suspects, then hunted victims, Leela and the Doctor must find the hidden killer - or join the other victims of the Robots of Death.
 

On a desolate planet rich in metal ores a huge sandminer crawls over the barren wastes scraping the surface for lucanol, one of the most valuable substances in the universe. The skeleton crew are served by their robot staff; efficient, expendable and totally obedient. Until now.

One by one, the human crew are brutally eliminated and suspicion shifts from the crew members themselves to the Doctor and Leela who have accidentally landed on the planet. But, as the true enemy is revealed, the Doctor, Leela and the remains of the terrified crew find themselves prey to a horde of killer robots answerable only to an evil scientist determined to see them seize absolute power.
