The Doctor and Romana arrive on a space liner orbiting the planet Azure, which has just been impaled by a private spacecraft due to an accident leaving hyperspace. The accident happened because the navigator of the liner was stoned out of his mind on a horribly addictive illegal drug called vraxoin, and it appears somebody onboard the liner is smuggling it.
To make things more dangerous, a biologist named Tryst who is travelling aboard the liner is carrying a machine of his invention that keeps samples of alien ecosystems in pocket universes for observation. The effects of the hyperspace {{Telefrag}} cause a group of monstrous predatory beasts called Mandrels, from the misleadingly-named planet Eden, to escape and start slicing people up.
The Doctor and Romana are further endangered when the brutal and stupid local border guards assume that the Doctor is a drug-dealer because he was carrying some vraxoin he discovered around as evidence.
Eventually the Doctor manages to separate the two ships, with help from the [=TARDIS=]'s systems. The drug-smugglers turn out to be Tryst and Dymond, the owner of the smaller ship. It turns out that vraxoin is made from decomposed Mandrel corpses, which was why Tryst was keeping them in his hi-tech zoo. The Doctor decides to return the Mandrels and the other specimens to their original planets.

Two ships collide in space. One carries a scientific expedition, the other is a passenger ship. One of the scientists has a machine called a Continual Event Transmuter, that records whole sections of a biosphere as living recordings on a crystal.
Somebody has been smuggling a dangerous drug known as vraxoin, which causes total apathy -- the accident was caused when the passenger ship's navigator was high on duty, in fact. Withdrawal makes a person violent. This drug has actually reduced whole planets to barbarism so fast it would make a Time Lord's head spin.
Naturally, the smugglers plant some in the Doctor's pocket. And the hideous Mandrels have escaped from the CET machine -- and before long the Doctor figures out that the Mandrels are the source of Vraxoin (it's what they decompose into when they die) and that the scientists are the smugglers.
