Brian rescues a lady (seen in the previous story) as she falls in the moat of savage fish. Sir Bane departs, but sends a message that Brian must bring the Sun Ruby to a castle across the Forest Perilous. Brian is waylaid by brigands, but the hawk Slasher drives them off - and leads Brian to the secret grove where hangs the uniform of the Silent Knight. Dressed, Brian battles thugs across a bridge and even underwater, drops off the armor, and arrives at the castle, mission accomplished.
