An invasion of Earth hangs in the balance at a series of intergalactic fighting matches.
While John Robinson inspects a new weather station, a giant alien materializes and engages him in a fight. Myko appears and orders him to stop, explaining that heis a trainer of fighters for a series of bouts he holds each year on a planet for televising throughout the galaxy. He wants John to enter
the fights as an Earth representative.
When John refuses, Smith lingers behind to make a deal. He will convince John to fight if Myko will guarantee him half of John's winnings plus a trip to Earth. Myko agrees. Later, Smith and Will visit Myko's training grounds to watch various fighters work out. Myko shows them the supreme test of courage -the Wheel of Life, a Russian roulette using laser beams. When Myko learns that John still refuses to enter the fights, he offers Smith a deal. If Smith will enter the fights, Myko will let Smith choose his own opponent and help him win.
He agrees and chooses Geoo, an alien half his size. John and Don sneak up on his camp that night and overhear a conversation between Myko and his alien master who reveals that the losers of the fights incur invasion of their respective planets. John and Don, rushing back to the Jupiter 2 to keep Smith from participating in the games, order the Robot to guard him. But Smith artfully removes the Robot's power pack and escapes to Myko's camp. There, as he gets ready to fight Geoo, Will and the Robot attempt to stop him.
But it is too late- Smith takes on the midget who suddenly disappears and beats him in the first round. When John learns what has happened, he returns with Will to explain to Myko that Earthlings are tougher than Smith. In a desperate effort to prevent an invasion of Earth, John fights Geoo and beats him by tying a belt on him, to render him visible. Then, he challenges M yko to a round on the Wheel of Life. J ust before the last laser chambers are shot, Myko concedes that John's display of courage has convinced galaxy military leaders that war with Earth would be foolish.
