The Doctor and Romana arrive on the marsh moon of Delta Magna in search of the next segment of the Key to Time. They are caught in the conflict between the native Swampies and the crew of a chemical refinery. The presence of a gun runner complicates matters; to make things worse, the Swampies intend to awaken Kroll, the giant god that lives beneath the swamps.

the race of the green giant string bean people try to kill the doctor and romana on a medieval back breaking contraption and also summon a giant tentacle monster that eats people

ROMANA: Doctor? Sometimes I don't think you're quite right in the head.> DOCTOR: Skart, where did that [ugly giant circular] window come from?

VARLIK: It was brought from Delta Magna when the temple was first built.

DOCTOR: I'd have sacked him. The architect.> (Kroll is rising from the mud.)

DOCTOR: Oh look, it's coming this way. :D

FENNER: Yes, and it's going to attack us.

DOCTOR: Well, I don't think it's come to shake hands.
