Synopsis:
The Shining Knight stops a pair of robbers. After turning them over to the police, he catches a young boy Skinny Murgatroyd who was helping the thieves. Justin decides to help the boy back onto the path of lawfulness by taking him back in time to Camelot.
In Camelot, Sir Gawain is injured while fighting bandits. A boy named Tom has been helping the outlaws. With Gawain wounded, Sir Justin tracks down Tom who has been enlisted by the outlaws to gain entrance to the Red Dragon Inn. Despite being outnumbered, the Shining Knight defends the innkeeper from the robbers. Both Tom and Skinny are inspired to assist in the inn's defense.
The outlaws are beaten, but Tom is injured. The Shining Knight takes him back to Merlin who provides medical attention. The Shining Knight and Skinny then return to the future. Skinny decides not to get involved in crime again.
