"There was a moment in time when those who were brilliant and powerful also were playful, and when they took recess from their exhausting and magnificent strides toward glory, they replenished their darker passions with fun and games. On the planet Earth, such games have been civilized, and drained of all but their last few drops of blood..." The Senator, an alien representing the citizenry of planet Andera, abducts ex-boxer and small-time crook Mike Benson (Nick Adams) and troubled divorcee Laura Hanley (Nancy Malone), "electroporting" them to a distant, neutral planet, On this "arena planet," they are pitted in battle against two primitive alien beasts from the Calco Galaxy. The goal of this hideous contest is survival. The stakes are the home planet of each team, with the world of the losers to be obliterated -- all for the further amusement of the bloodthirsty Anderans! The Calco alien will later make a (slightly modified) appearance in the Star Trek pilot episode "The Cage."
