Moonflesh

The Doctor and Nyssa arrive in Suffolk in 1911 and are surprised to find elephants, lions and other non-native wildlife near to the TARDIS. The owner of the estate where they have landed, Nathaniel Whitlock, saves then from a hungry lion and explains that he has had the animals shipped over from other countries to be hunted.

Mr. Whitlock and his daughter extend their hospitality to the Doctor and Nyssa, allowing them to stay the night. A strange crystalline object known as Moonflesh and how it was obtained by a man known only as Silver Crow is a source of the evening's discussion among all of Whitlock's guests. But what is the mysterious Moonflesh, why are some of the animals behaving strangely and can an alien being called Vatuus really be trusted?
