The story

In AD 932, King Arthur and his squire Patsy, who bangs coconut shells together as Arthur mimes riding a horse, travel Britain searching for men to join the Knights of the Round Table.

Arthur and his knights arrive at a castle occupied by French soldiers, who claim to have the Grail and taunt the Britons, driving them back with a barrage of barnyard animals.

Arthur and Bedevere are given directions by an old soothsayer and attempt to satisfy the strange requests of the dreaded Knights Who Say "Ni!".
