Synopsis: A travelling troupe of jousters and performers are slowly cracking under the pressure of hick cops, financial troubles and their failure to live up to their own ideals. The group's leader, King Billy, is increasingly unable to maintain his warrior's rule while the Black Knight is being tempted away to LA and stardom, as they all have to ask why they were here in the first place.

to keep their skills sharp and to

practise the chivalries of battle.

Don't touch, Jim. Those things

can bite your fingers off.

And now the King of our Little

Camelot, the noble Sire William

and his lovely lady Linet.

- What's the new toy?

- That's the mace I made for Morgan.

It's got a solid hit?

Yeah, it's made

out of metal, not rubber.

- Alan thinks it's too heavy.

- Let me see it.

Well, I never did know

a king who was on time, did you?

I didn't think we should use it

until we tried it out first.

Trumpets.

Just do it.

If Morgan needs a hand weapon,

tell him it's OK to use the mace.

Ah, come on, Bill, you...

My lords and ladies, the ever punctual

Sir William the King.

Long ilve King William!

Hey, what's up? Is something wrong?

Oh, it's... it's nothing.

And now the noble knights

of our kingdom!

What you will see, ladies and gents,

is absolutely real.

It's like drawing lots. You never know

who you're gonna ride against.

Now, any foul play

will be ruled on by the King,

the ultimate referee,

and the King himself

may ride in the game,

should he feel an opponent worthy.

Far out!

That was Sir Pellinore

besting Sir Ban of Boston.

And a well-placed blow it was.

- Your life is in my hands, sucker.

- I'm gonna kick your ass.

Hey, Joe!

The winners fight each other

until there's a champion.

- Did you see that shot?

- Yeah, it's all right, brother.

They're like acrobats, that's all.

They're like the wrestlers on TV.

They got these blood bags in their

mouths, you know what I mean?

Oh!

Ewing! You don't have a chance!

It's Ewain.

Keep your eye on me today.

Sir Ewing beats Sir Bleoboris.

All right!

Sir Marhalt

defeated by Sir Rocky!

Better luck next time, Sir Marhalt.

Far out!

Next to ride against Sir Kay,

Morgan, the infamous Black Knight.

Yeah!

In cases like this, the King,

Sir William, can judge a victor

or call for another pass.

Now in the case of another pass,

the knights may not use their lances

but must turn to hand weapons.

Neither man was the clear victor.

Fight again, Sir Knights.

Morgan had the advantage so Sir Kay

will choose. Mounted or hacks, Sir Kay?

Hacks.

No, no, the mace. The mace.

What?

Billy says you can use it, if you want it.

It's up to you.

Yeah?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

OK.

In the side hacks,

the knights don't use the rail.

They ride in the open field

and they can pass at each other

for as long as it takes

for one to eliminate the other

or until one concedes.

God, they're really revved up.

Come on, Kay!

Billy, you're not gonna do this.

Maybe Morgan will lose.

Yahoo!

Billy, your shoulder.

You're still not right from the last one.
