Overview

In 932 AD, King Arthur and his squire, Patsy, travel throughout Britain (place name) searching for men to join the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur recruits Bedivere, Lancelot, Galahad, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot, and Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Film, along with their squires and Robin's troubadours. Arthur leads the men to Camelot, but decides it is "a silly place" and sets off elsewhere. As they turn away, God (an image of W. G. Grace) speaks to them and gives Arthur the task of finding the Holy Grail.
