Twelve young women, six of each representing England and America, all dressed tastfully. One of two of them are good looking. Twelve perpendicular hoizontal swinging poles are suspended. The girls get on opposite poles and attempt to knock the others off through force or treading on their head or shoulders.
The announcer states that the girl or girls who stay on the pole longest win.
It is more spectacular than interesting, became somewhat amusing at the finale.
