'Devil's Island' Story Code '9611' by Bob and Wanda Duncan

15th March 1895: The two time-travellers arrive on Devil's Island, just as six prisoners attempt to escape. As two of the criminals swim out to sea, Doug and Tony are mistaken for them and hauled back to the prison by the head guard, Lescoux. The following day, Doug manages to escape from a work crew, but when he attempts to explain his innocence to the Commandant he is captured and thrown into a sweatbox. The infamous Captain Dreyfuss is brought to the prison, prompting the inmates to plan an escape for him and themselves. Later, when one of the prisoners, Perrault discovers an unattended rowboat, Tony sneaks off and hides it. In the present, at the Tic-Toc project, Lieutenant General Kirk instructs Doctor Swain and Doctor MacGregor to divert all the power of the Time Tunnel to extract Doug and Tony; however, another convict, Boudaire, gets in the way and is transported instead - and he vehemently refuses to return to the prison. Using the Time Tunnel’s viewscreen, Kirk and the others look on as the truth behind the escape plan is revealed: it is all a plot by the Commandant so that Dreyfuss can be shot while attempting to escape – and unless a way can be found to warn them, Doug and Tony will be killed during the break out as well…

Cliff-hanger: Doug and Tony materialise in Paris during the French Revolution. Doug is arrested by guards and thrown into a cart on its way to the guillotine…
