The story takes place on a colony world populated by Earthlings from the far future. The premise of the story presents this idyllic planet where every day is a holiday. One young man however, voices his panic over the presence of some mysterious creatures. Though his peers dismiss his concerns, the Doctor feels that such a claim is worth investigating. Naturally, he encounters some monsters. It wouldn't quite be a Doctor Who story if he didn't, now wouldn't it?
