Synopsis:
Butch Boyle and his friends try to sell common items to finance a playground. They are unable to raise much money, so Butch asks Justin to take him back to the age of Camelot. He opens a shop selling soap, nails, and flashlights which haven't been invented yet in King Arthur's time.

Butch raises a good sum of money from his sales only to discover that many of the coins are counterfeit. He and Justin follow the man using the false coins back to his gang. They distract the gang using firecrackers, then apprehend them. Justin then tells Butch that the counterfeit coins were made of platinum, a worthless metal in Camelot, but valuable in modern times.

Butch takes the platinum back to the present. He uses it to finance the playground and several others.
