A fun little tale. The TARDIS crew land in the middle of the slave rebellion led by Spartacus.
The Doctor ends up enjoying the hospitality of the Roman Proconsul, Crassus. Ben, Polly, and Jamie, on the other hand, fall in with the revolting slaves. They do their level best to help them out - Ben even tries to hire ships to take them to safety in Sicily - but it's all for naught.
Despite the Doctor's best attempts to save the slaves, we are left with a fatalistic ending.
