The four time travellers regain consciousness to find the TARDIS in semi-darkness. The Doctor has sustained a nasty gash to his forehead and the others are suffering memory losses and pains in the head and neck. Tensions mount as the Doctor tries without success to locate the problem with the ship and a series of strange events occur. The main doors open and close of their own accord; a confusing sequence of images appears on the scanner screen; and the faces of all the clocks and watches on board the ship suddenly melt.
Ian and Barbara contemplate the possibility that an intruder may have got on board, but the Doctor suspects that they themselves have sabotaged the instruments with the intention of blackmailing him into returning them to 20th-century Earth. Susan also comes to mistrust the two teachers until eventually she realises that they could not possibly have been responsible for everything which has happened.
The danger intensifies as the ship experiences a total systems failure and its power threatens to escape. The Doctor grimly announces that they have no more than ten minutes left to live: they are on the brink of destruction!
Barbara suddenly realises that it is the ship itself which has caused the increasingly bizarre series of events that they have been witnessing: it has been trying to give them a warning, but a warning about what? The Doctor discovers that the 'fast return' switch on the control console has become jammed and that they have been rushing backwards through time towards the beginning of the Universe. With the fault repaired, the ship returns to normal.
The Doctor is forced to admit that Barbara's intuition has saved the day, and the tensions which have existed since the two teachers first pushed their way into the ship now ease a little.
The ship's next landing point is a snowy landscape, where Susan finds a huge footprint which appears to have been made by a giant! Synopsis from

四个旅行者恢复意识后去。 博士忍受着前额的伤口，其他人前额和脖子也不同程度受伤并且有一定失忆。博士试图查找飞船的问题，却没有成功，此时一些奇怪的事情发生了。大门自动的开启闭合；屏幕上出现一组胡乱排序的图片；船甲板上各种钟表外观的突然之间融化了。
Ian和Barbara企图通过硬闯到达甲板，但是博士怀疑他们自己想通过破坏机器，威胁他送他们返回20世纪的地球。Susan已开始也不相信两个老师，最终他意识到，他们对所发生的一切没有任何责任。
飞船系统失效，它的能量也在不断散佚，危险进一步加剧。博士慎重宣布，他们活不过10分钟，他们正处于毁灭边缘。
Barbara突然想到，是飞船自己导致这些他们面前日益加剧的奇异事件的；飞船试图给他们警告，但是警告什么呢？博士发现控制台上“快速返回”按钮被压碎了，是他们快速的返回向宇宙诞生的时间。当这个错误被修复后，飞船恢复了正常。
博士不得不承认，Barbara的直觉救了他们。这些危机从两名老师被迫上路就开始了，而现在一切都安然了。
飞船的下一站是漫天飞雪的地方，Susan发现，那里留有可能由巨人留下的巨大脚印。

The first and only story to take place completely within the TARDIS. Written as filler material to round out the initial BBC commitment, "The Edge of Destruction" is the only serial to take place completely within the TARDIS and the only one without anyone but the regular cast. Originally titled
"Inside the Spaceship" by the production team, this story is now known as "The Edge of Destruction". It is also sometimes erroneously called "Beyond the Sun" but this is a misnomer ("Beyond the Sun" was a working title for a story in the previous slot). For more in-depth information about the contents of this story, a complete episode-by-episode detailed breakdown can be found at the
Doctor Who Reference Guide.
Additional, more detailed information about the production of this story can be found at Shannon Patrick Sullivan's
A Brief History of Time (Travel).
这是第一个也是仅有的一个完完全全发生在Tardis的故事。"The Edge of Destruction"是对BBC最初许诺的而编写的，是仅有的一个只发生在Tardis内部的故事，也是仅有的一部没有客串演员的剧集。最初制作组将标题定为“飞船内”(Inside the Spaceship)，该故事现被人熟知的名字是"The Edge of Destruction"。这则故事有时候也被人误说为"Beyond the Sun"，但是这是不恰当的。（"Beyong the Sun"是为剧集事先安排的标题。）
