Sir Launcelot of the Lake, the mightiest fighter of King Arthur's Round Table, sets out on a quest for adventure with his nephew Sir Lionel—only to discover that a mysterious knight has been capturing and imprisoning noble warriors. When a young lady reveals the villain's identity and location, Launcelot faces off against the treacherous Sir Turquine, but his greatest trials come not from honorable combat: a cunning lady and her husband Sir Phelot scheme to trap him without his armor, testing whether even the greatest knight can overcome treachery as well as steel.
