A six-part story by Malcolm Hulke
Starring Jon Pertwee

Accused of being Draconian spies, Jo and the Doctor are taken back to Earth. The Doctor is caught in the middle of a power struggle between two Empires - and comes under attack from both sides!

Neither the humans or the Draconians are willing to believe the Doctor and Jo's story that someone is deliberately attempting to provoke a war between Earth and Draconia.

Teenager Carol Lee finds that the bird she rescues and keeps as a pet is by no means as yellow as it is painted (nor as black as its plumage).
