A troop of an intergalactic gladiators arrives on the planet, where they will hold their annual competition. Meanwhile, Smith, Will and the Robot work busily to repair a weather station. John comes to check on their progress, and the group is soon interrupted by a pair of large men in wrestling costumes who start a brawl. A third man appears and introduces himself as Myko. Myko commends John for fighting so well, and asks John to join his “Gamma Games,” an intergalactic contest that requires a representative from the planet Earth. John politely refuses.
