The magazine presents eight pictorials, each showing two slender women in indoor combat. One bout looks like it takes place on a roped-in fight canvas in a house. In others, grapplers strive on carpets in residential environments, although some may be photo studios set up to look like a living rooms.
While matches start with fetching rivals wearing bikinis or bra and panty sets, most wear little by the end of the fight. We recognize a couple of these beauties from appearances in other publications. Our guess about these lovely fighters is that they are not wrestlers but models posed to look like them.
But it's all about the fantasy, anyway, and these evocative images give fight fans a lot to think about.

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN FIGHTS FOR HER LIFE
And shows her husband she also can be a center of attraction
Copious prose accompanies each photo set, restating the flow of grabs, pulls, kicks, straddles, holds and twists shown in the pictures. These paragraphs describe combat in a Montreal apartment.
The penthouse's proprietor arose and turned to the audience. "Can I have your attention, please," he said. "I would like to introduce you to Cecily and Antoinette. These two lovely creatures will grapple here tonight in the first Canadian apartment house wrestling match. The winner of this match will be the first Canadian Queen of Apartment Wrestling. We shall also find out tonight whether Canadians are as strong as Americans!"
With that, the match began. Antoinette made an immediate lunge for Cecily, throwing her down on the floor. She grabbed Cecily's long, blonde hair, causing the grappler to scream in agony. With jungle-like fury, Antoinette tore into her foe, pulling on her long, sinewy legs. She grabbed a foot flailing helplessly in the air and sunk her incisor-like teeth into the flesh of Cecily's bare foot.
Cecily howled like a beast, the torture being too much for her to take so soon into the match. But Antoinette was not yet satisfied; she put her muscular arm around Cecily's throat and forced her into a kneeling position. Then she forced her opponent's arm behind her back, twisting it like a piece of twine. The Frenchwoman was displaying great
The French-Canadian onlookers were cheering loudly for Antoinette, urging her to increase the intensity of the torture she was performing on her opponent. Meanwhile, the Anglo members of the audience were worried about their grappler, hoping that somehow she could reverse the dire situation in which she had somehow been placed.
Cecily didn't disappoint her fans. Instead of letting the painful torture of Antoinette to continue, she freed one of her hands and delivered a stunning blow to the French-Canadian's supple left breast. Not satisfied with merely momentarily stopping her opponent, Cecily dived for Antoinette's legs. She spread them apart, sending them further than the confines of the grappler's mid-section could tolerate.
The more Antoinette cried, the more Cecily spread apart her adversary's appendages. The alabaster thighs of the French-Canadian were reddening with blood and pain. Cecily was relentless, brutal. She used her blonde head as a battering ram to Antoinette's prone torso. The Frenchwoman writhed in pain, but Cecily was oblivious to the screams.
The ebook contains all content of the magazine, including many pages of advertising. Page sequence was revised to obtain continuity of the pictorials.
The magazine was printed on 64 pages of coarse pulp paper that's survived 40 years of aging with some discoloration. Brightness, contrast and levels were adjusted and shadows reduced. The ebook preserves the dynamic imagery of lovely ladies in combat and improves on the production quality of the original, but some photographs look grainy when enlarged.
