plot
King Arthur is a desperate man as Sir Point of No Return has run off with
all of the Knights of the Round Table's money, leaving them all skint.
Arthur decides to consult Merlin as to what to do. He is told to await the
coming of a Knight called Lancelot. Trouble is, when he does turn up,
Lancelot is a bumbling, cowardly cretin. However Arthur is convinced that
he's the man for the job, and with a little help from one of Merlin's
potions and the very loyal (and very camp) High Steward Sir Gay, enters
him into the forthcoming Jousting match. If Lancelot wins, their money
problems will be eased.
review
This is even worse than last weeks. Lew Schwarz's style just doesn't
work, and is shockingly bad. Jack Douglas' character is an embarrassment.
