I'm trying something new here. Every day I am going to post a new plot but this time they will be in order from the very beginning. We're even talking about radio plays chronologically from before the pilot so here we go. Oh and I get all my info from TARDIS Data Core so thank you.

First Doctor, 1963, story 1, First Flight:
On Gallifrey, the Doctor and Susan are being pursued by several armed guards through a TARDIS repair shop. Determined to leave their home, the Doctor and Susan steal a faulty old TARDIS, although the Doctor has very limited knowledge of how to properly operate one.
Upon escaping Gallifrey, the TARDIS materializes in the Sol system, near the planet that Susan recognizes as Earth. They soon realize, however, that their escape has completely depleted the TARDIS's faulty old engines, leaving them with seemingly no way home. They then realize that they are not alone on the TARDIS, as another Time Lord named Quadrigger Stoyn was also aboard the ship, taking apart the engine so that this TARDIS could be scrapped. Stoyn is upset at the Doctor and Susan for stealing he TARDIS with him aboard it, and I'd further distressed when the Doctor destroys the TARDIS's homing device so so that the Time Lords can not find them, leaving them stranded with no way to get home.
Despite Stoyn's protestations, the Doctor and Susan step outside to explore the planet - with the Doctor taking the TARDIS's dematerialization circuit as insurance - finding it to be in its primeval era with only the most primitive forms of life. With Stoyn following them, the Doctor and Susan eventually find that the planet is indeed inhabited by a form of intelligent life: a race of glob-like beings called Archaeons.
One of the Archaeons, known simply as the First Propagator, welcomes the Doctor, Susan, and Stoyn, and showed great curiosity about them. The three of them are led to an enormous cavern housing a strange cannon-like device that shoots red light lightning at the planet's moon, seeding life on it. When the Doctor realizes they are interfering with the development of the planet's life he immediately protests, an action that the Archaeons consider to be heresy. As this goes on, the Archeaons begin disassembling the TARDIS, causing the stasis field to destabilize, forming a breach in space and time.
Susan awakes to find herself in a hospital run by humans, where she learns that she was found in a 450 million year old archaeological dig site. As she is being questioned, she can faintly hear the Doctor's voice coming from somewhere. She eventually realizes that she is on Earth's moon, and the Archaeons had actually been seeding life on earth itself.
While being transported to the nearby Giant Leap Base, Stoyn mentally projects himself to Susan, claiming that he is trying to bring her and her Grandfather (the Doctor) back, but Susan does not believe him and refuses to cooperate. Stoyn is then interrupted as the lunar rover that Susan is being transported on is assaulted by red lightning, like the kind the Archaeons were using. Eventually Susan finds that the Doctor is in the next bed over from her. After waking him up, she explores the rest of the lunar rover only to find that the crew are all dead, killed by some sort of strange parasites.
As the Doctor tries to make sense of this all, he realizes that the stasis field must have frozen him and Susan in time until they were recovered by the human archaeologists. Stoyn manages to get in touch with them once more through the rover's communication devices, telling them that they need to come back and that the Archaeons are very angry with them for ruining their experiment. The Doctor attempts to warn the humans back at the moon base, but the link is cut off by more of the red lightning, knocking out power at the base.
While the Doctor and Susan contemplate their next move, they are again contacted by Stoyn, who pleads with them to come back so they can all escape, but the Doctor refuses. Eventually they are taken back to the cavern by the Archaeons by force. Upon returning, the Doctor congratulates the Archaeons on creating such a beautiful world full of vibrant life. However, the First Propagator said that their experiment was a failure due to their interference and as a result Earth has become a disorderly mess of chaos. With Stoyn's testimony against them, the Archaeons lay the blame of their failed experiment on the Doctor and Susan and decided to purge the Earth.
As the Archaeons Fire upon Earth, Stoyn leads the Doctor and Susan back to the TARDIS, its engines now fully regenerated, where he tries to convince the Doctor to give him the dematerialization circuit, as they argue, they come to realize that he humans are launching a retaliatory missile strike at the Archaeons. The Archaeons' power begins to fail, at which point the a Doctor decides to help them, thinking that the Time Lords will look more favorably upon them for restoring order when they catch up with them. The Doctor and Stoyn convince the Archaeons to let them use the TARDIS to power up their systems. When the Doctor refuses to turn the dematerialization circuit over to Stoyn, he takes Susan as his hostage, offering to take her with him in the TARDIS, leaving the Doctor to face judgement at the hands of the Archaeons. As the Archaeons prepare to resume their bombardment, the Doctor cuts the cable, leaving the Archaeons defenseless. Susan gets away from Stoyn and runs back into the TARDIS where they close the doors on him. Stoyn begs to be let into the TARDIS, but both the Doctor and Susan decide it best to leave him behind. Stoyn vows to get his revenge on the Doctor.
As the TARDIS dematerializes, the Doctor and Susan see that the Archaeons' weapon has been destroyed by a direct hit from the humans, leaving them defenseless. Still impressed by the Earth and its history, the doctor attempts to make the TARDIS take them back to Earth. Instead, they end up on an alien planet, causing the Doctor, in his excitement, to forget all about Earth at the moment.
