On the planet Telos, the Doctor and his friends encounter a party of archaeologists intent on uncovering the mythical ‘tomb of the Cybermen’. Only the Doctor seems aware of the folly of this venture, but suddenly it’s too late – the ice tombs are open, and the Cybermen are coming back to life… Trapped underground with the Cyber Controller and his acolytes, including the vermin-like Cybermats, the Doctor and company learn that they are to be turned into a new generation of Cybermen. To make matters worse, there is treachery and double-crossing amongst the humans.
