  • The TARDIS is pulled to a sports arena by a "strange web". The Second Doctor is brought, along with other creatures, to this sports arena to wrestle for the amusement of an unnamed, gorilla-like race. At first, the Doctor is paired with Grok, the species' champion. The Doctor easily defeats the giant by the proper application of leverage. The time traveller's second opponent isn't so easy. A Cyberman steps into the ring and at first overwhelms the Doctor. Again, though, the Doctor's knowledge of physics allows him to get the upper hand. Soon, the Cyberman finds himself tied into the ring's bounding ropes and the Doctor slips away to the TARDIS. The inhabitants of the strange world allow him to leave, happy to have been so thoroughly entertained.
