The Celestial Hammerlock

A space promoter accidentally delivers a troupe of wrestlers to a pacifist planetoid where violence is shunned, and his exchanges with an Earth employer chronicle the ensuing chaos. The athletes are confined for cultural reconditioning with floral therapies while local intellectuals and performers watch in bemused fascination. Clashes between muscular spectacle and contemplative society generate comic conflicts, social satire, and unexpected romantic interest when visitors respond to the wrestlers. The episodic story is told through letters and telegrams that mix slapstick episodes with observations about cultural mismatch and the promoter's shifting priorities amid his misadventures.
