Synopsis:
Death stalks the fogbound streets of Victorian London. Young women are going missing. Horribly mutilated bodies are found floating in the Thames. And criminal gangs terrorise the innocent. At the heart of this tangled web sits the mysterious Li H'sen Chang (John Bennett), sorcerer and hypnotist, and his grotesque sidekick - the all-too-lifelike ventriloquist's dummy, Mister Sin (Deep Roy). The Doctor (Tom Baker) dons deerstalker and cape to seek out the sinister force lurking in the shadows of the metropolis. For the talons of Weng-Chiang (Michael Spice) are reaching out to shred the human race...
