1793: When 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. He is rescued by Tony and a local shopkeeper, who takes them into hiding in his shop. The innkeeper believes the two foreigners to be in France to aid his queen, Marie Antoinette; but just as he gives the time-travellers a change of clothes, they are interrupted by the arrival of a French officer named Querque – who is the exact double of Lieutenant General Kirk of the Tic-Toc project. Back at the Time Tunnel, the real Kirk decides to send his ring - a family heirloom – back through time so that it can act as a focal point; but when the object appears before Doug and Tony, it is instead taken by Querque, who learns from its inscription that Marie Antoinette had a lover – information that will make him a hero. Doug, Tony and the shopkeeper and are thrown into prison, but they soon escape by tricking their guards, and promptly set off to warn Marie Antoinette and her son, the Dauphin. Meanwhile, Kirk and the Time Tunnel personnel decide to recall both the ring and its wearer – causing Querque to be transferred through time to the Tic-Toc complex…
Cliff-hanger: As Doug and Tony arrive in Russia during the 1950s, a probe appears out of the Time Tunnel and explodes…
