The Doctor and Gemma suddenly appear in an unknown planet, both not knowing their whereabouts. Determining where they are, he detects the gravitational pull to be "weird" and the air is less polluted, concluding they are in Antia 3. He compares Antia 3 to be like Earth, which also pertaining some differences, stating out that the Antia 3 people eat rocks. When she found their diet to be interesting, he deems something else to be interesting, pointing out words saying "The Yo Yo Man Welcomes You", questioning who the Yo Yo Man is.

She notices Antia 3 resembles Earth, disproving her assumption that most planets do not. The Doctor explains they happen to be on a planet like Earth, while most of the other planets are the ones different from Earth. He notices one of the species called Kruls nearby. He greets one of them, Atlas, going by "John Smith". Bewildered from his ignorance, Atlas explains that she is yo-ing in order to please the Yo Yo Man, which is required for everyone to do according to her. The Doctor dismisses and leaves her, heading back to Gemma. Acknowledging the current "yoyo time", he asks her if she has a yo yo. When she revealed she does not, he grew problematic from not obtaining one, especially since his TARDIS is missing, so they both decide to search for one. Once they left, Atlas addresses to her lord, informing of a problem.

He and Gemma saw a woman, asking for assistance. When he requested the woman information regarding the Yo Yo Man, she does not respond, while yo-ing. Receiving her imply for no answer, the two ran away, concerned about her pursuing her. Signaled to where the TARDIS is, the Doctor led her to it, which disappears when they saw it. He got slightly annoyed of the re-occurrence from the machine, leaving them baffled on what to do next. Atlas suddenly appears to them, urgently leading them.

Atlas escorts them in an area, deeming the place to be safe for them to settle in. Answering why she is helping them, Atlas explains that she witnessed what the Kruls were gonna to do them, assuring the species to be usually a peaceful race. Curious, he asked who the Yo Yo Man is, so she described him as her race's god and informs how he rescued them from destruction a hundred years ago. She explains the destruction started with a big bang, fire, and smoke, that stopped spreading once the Yo Yo Man rescued the Kruls.

Bewildered from what she claimed, he discuses about this separately with Gemma, speculating the Yo Yo Man to not be from Antia 3. The Doctor reasons that he somehow coincidentally assumed control of the planet just after the destruction, theorizing the Yo Yo Man caused the destruction. Gemma adds in how clever it was to cause destruction, rise to power, and claim to be savior as many dictators did this. He believes it would be necessary for them to go to the destruction site, so he requests Atlas to come guide them there. She accepts, prompting him to start the trip.

Once they all arrived, Atlas grew curious why he wants to be her, answered by him just to inspect the site. Inspected the site, he discovers a ship, materializing it into visibility and away from cloaking via sonic screwdriver. He explains that ship actually is the cause of the destruction from a hundred years ago. He explains the ship has an advanced form of cloaking which was why no one had bumped into it, noting he never this cloak before. The cloaking is what made the object a second out of sync away from the rest of the universe, having it absence from where they are, impressing him. With the evidence he gathered, he concludes that the Yo Yo Man caused the destruction.

When Atlas protested this claim by stating the Yo Yo Man is the race's savior, he argues that he is not so and is a dictator. The Doctor also gathers that the Yo Yo Man is seemly a Golza. However, Gemma notes that most dictators or tyrants treat people awfully, while the Yo Yo Man makes his servants yo yo. The Doctor explains that a Golza's food source is happy memories, which can be generated from a yoyo, so a disconcerted Gemma deduces that he feeds off of dopamine from people who are yo-ing. However, the Doctor insists that there should be more details to uncover. Adhering his request, Atlas willingly handed him her yoyo, so he scans it. He deduces that the Yo Yo Man amplified the happy emotion from each given yoyo, figuring that the yoyo drains the emotion from its victim until there is none, considering that people would have a desire to retrieve them back. The Doctor theorizes that he turned people into either slaves or solders.

Asked from him of the Yo Yo Man's whereabouts, Atlas reveals that he is at a tower, which he possessed ever since the Kruls built it for him. Planning to go there, the Doctor instructs Gemma to stay with Atlas. Gemma initially insists he needs a second in command, but he convinces her that he has no intention of feeling responsible for either her death or loss of happiness.

Inside the tower, the Doctor meets the Yo Yo Man, unimpressed with the messy place. The Yo Yo Man asks if he is Human only for him to answer Time Lord. The Yo Yo Man insults him, calling him a "pathetic little Time Lord", claiming that Golzas are above all species that are known to man, up to his exasperation. The Doctor doubts this, reasoning that Time Lords are lords as said in their name. The Yo Yo Man deems him to be an ignorant fool, objected upon. Nevertheless, the Yo Yo Man states he was foolish enough to be here because it enables him to take his memories from doing so. Suddenly trapped, the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to completely diminishes the trap and leaves.

Returned to Gemma and Atlas, the Doctor explains what happened back there. He ponders about facing the Yo Yo Man again only to see the potential result to end badly, open to any ideas. Gemma asks if the Yo Yo Man ran out of the yoyo happiness, suggesting to destroy the yoyos. The Doctor answers that the Yo Yo Man would have just amplify the happiness, deducing that he would have been still able to feed. Volunteering her idea, Atlas suggests to overfed him to death. When both the Doctor and Gemma consider the plan to be successful, he decides to offer the Yo Yo Man a chance first, heading to the tower.

Inside the tower, the Doctor and Gemma approach the Yo Yo Man, who is delighted on being "given" more food. The Doctor offers a choice which is to either leave the planet and everyone alone or that he will stop him. Arrogant, the Yo Yo Man sees no method in him being stopped by the Doctor, satisfied to see them both trapped. The Yo Yo Man is amazed at the Doctor's many memories, relishing the big feast, seeing that it can serve fiftieth of his people for three lifetimes. The Doctor admits he has more sad memories than his happy ones, still impressing the Yo Yo Man of the duration of his happiness. The Yo Yo Man finds it delicious to feed off people he once held dear such as Rose Tyler and Professor River Song. The Doctor wishes the Yo Yo Man to enjoy them, noting that memories were built for thousands of years and are unable to be taken back to him.

The Doctor sees memories as what defines them, seeing that people can not be themselves without them, noting that the Yo Yo Man is wasting precious memories. He warns that he will unleash the fury of a Time Lord when he has no memories left, remarking that he will not see it because the Yo Yo Man is getting full, up to his denial. The Doctor insists on his constant consumption until he explodes. Agonizing, the Yo Yo Man begs for the feeding to cease, realizing the Doctor's happy memories to be too much for him. As the Yo Yo Man can not stop himself, the Doctor compares memories to drugs, which are both perpetually wanted once taken. The Doctor continues to insist his memories, leaving the Yo Yo Man powerless and to explode.

When they were freed from the traps, the Doctor concludes that only most of his happy memories were taken, only containing a few of them left, willing to accept living with that. They soon notice the happy memories the Yo Yo Man took that were extracted from him. The memories then levitate higher in the sky. After that, the Doctor calls what happened a happy ending, agreed upon by her.

Before they leave the planet, he reminds her that they need to say goodbye to Atlas. When they went to Atlas, he explains what happened and how the everyone's happy memories were restored, seeing that Kruls are free. grateful for what the Doctor did, she asks what he will do. He answers that he will search his TARDIS, so she wished him luck on his success. Before leaving with Gemma, he says goodbye and expresses his consideration to see her again. When they disappeared, Atlas is satisfied and walks outside.
