It is the island of St. Helena in the year 1821. Napoleon Bonaparte, once master of Europe and now a defeated exile, waits alone to die. One of the attending physicians has some strange objects in his bag...
Five hundred years later, the planet Hesperus is involved in a global war. The TARDIS crew finds themselves caught on a battlefield of that war. After several narrow escapes, they are captured and brought before the commander of one of the forces -- and discover, to their astonishment, that he looks exactly like Napoleon Bonaparte.
On other planets, in other times, copies of Napoleon are waging war. For what purpose has Napoleon been cloned again and again? Who has gained advantage from the wars these clones have waged? And who has provided the genetic material for the Napoleons in the first place?
