The Doctor and Sarah Jane find themselves in a gravel pit. Sarah Jane finds a fossilised hand and removes a ring from it, placing it on her finger. She is knocked unconscious by a rock-breaking explosion and is taken to hospital. Possessed by an alien from Kastria, she takes the hand to Nunton nuclear power station, where the hand regrows a finger and begins to move.

The fossilised hand is now in the possession of a technician called Driscoll at Nunton power station. He places the fossilised hand in the reactor core, which it begins to draw power from, causing an overload situation. As the complex is evacuated, computers and equipment begin to blow up and Nunton's director, Professor Watson, is thrown to the floor.
