When in 1334 B.C. Egypt with Queen Nefertiti, the Doctor receives a call from the Indian Space Agency in 2367 A.D. about a spaceship which will crash into Earth in six hours; if it is not stopped, they will fire missles to destroy it before it crashes into earth. Taking Nefertiti with him, he picks up Edwardian explorer John Riddell from the African plains in 1902 A.D., and his companions Amy and Rory ten months after he last saw them in "Asylum of the Daleks", accidentally taking Rory's father Brian on the TARDIS as well. They land on the spaceship and come face-to-face with ankylosaurus dinosaurs. The Doctor uses the ship's computer to locate the engines, accidently transporting him, Rory, and Brian to the engine room, which appears to be a beach.
The Doctor and his companions discover that the ship is a Silurian ark designed to carry the reptilian humanoids to a new planet along with flora and fauna from their time period. After escaping from a group of pterodactyls, the Doctor, Rory, and Brian are escorted by two robots to a human called Solomon who was injured in a raptor attack, believing the Doctor to be of the medical type. Solomon reveals himself as a exotic black market trader, who believes everything and everyone has a price, though is surprised that the Doctor is not listed in his system. Solomon had boarded the spaceship and killed its inhabitants in order to sell the dinosaurs on board, and now threatens the Doctor into repairing his legs and into giving him Queen Nefertiti after seeing her value.
Missiles are fired from Earth to stop the ship from crashing. The Doctor disables Solomon's robots and rescues Nefertiti before he tricks the missiles into targeting Solomon's ship and detaching it from the Silurian ark, whereupon the missiles destroy his ship, taking Solomon with it. Meanwhile, Rory and Brian pilot the ark away from the Earth, as the ship can only be piloted by two people of the same gene pool.
The Doctor then takes the Ponds back home after letting Brian view the Earth from orbit. The Doctor leaves Nefertiti with Riddell in the African plains in 1902 A.D. The episode ends after showing that Brian Williams has now taken to travelling across the planet and that the dinosaurs now reside on the planet Siluria.
