Two schoolteachers become suspicious of their strange student, Susan Foreman, and follow her home—only to discover she lives in a police box with her mysterious grandfather, the Doctor.
When they are unwillingly taken aboard the TARDIS, the group travels back to prehistoric Earth, where they are captured by a tribe of cavemen and must struggle to survive.
Notes:
The first episode aired the day after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, leading to concerns about low viewing figures.
