Knights of the Round Table

King Arthur, the great medieval king, instructs his son, Prince Galahad, to summon the bravest knights in the kingdom to the Round Table.  The Knights of the Round Table are to do good deeds, such as rescue damsels in distress and protect the townspeople.  But the king plans to reveal an ever greater task for his Knights - they will march to the end of the world and back, to prove once and for all the King's proclamation that the world is flat.  Prince Galahad agrees to summon the Knights, but he has other plans for the brave Knights.  The King, the Prince, six Knights, a Damsel, a Cook, a Blacksmith, and a Court Jester, all of whom work together to tell a story of bravery, comedy, and intrigue, ultimately delivering to the King the real bounty that he has been seeking.
