Mere days after returning from a five-year absence from the king's court, Sir Galahad is informed by the king and queen that a suitor is urgently needed for the princess, as the king is dying. Sir Galahad agrees to the marriage, sending him on a medieval quest of epic proportions in order to prove his worth to marry the beautiful Princess Jacqueline. But perhaps the hardest obstacles for Sir Galahad have nothing to do with the dangers that be - first, an evil knight has also taken up the quest for Jacqueline's hand and will abuse the throne were he to win it and second, Sir Galahad has caught the eye of one Lady Heron - the castle's royal messenger - and she may have caught his as well. What's a knight to do? What's a brave, handsome knight to do?
