Synopsis:
Sir Justin, a knight of the Round Table, is given the task of slaying Blunderbore, an evil giant. During his quest to find the giant, Justin encounters two bandits. He chases them into a forest where he accidentally frees Merlin the wizard from a witch's enchantment. Merlin rewards Justin by giving him magic armor and weapons. He also changes his steed Victory into a flying horse.

After his meeting Merlin, Sir Justin locates Blunderbore and engages the giant in battle. The fight causes an avalanche which results in Justin and Victory becoming frozen in ice. Centuries later, Justin is freed from the ice by Dr. Moresby, a museum curator who spotted the knight's iceberg floating in the ocean.

Moresby introduces Justin to life in the 20th century. The knight is amazed by new technologies and clothing. When gangsters rob the museum, Justin learns that evil still exists in the world. He chases the crooks in his armor and discovers that Merlin's enchantment has made it bulletproof. Sir Justin and his steed Winged Victory then successfully capture the bandits. Justin vows to fight evil as the Shining Knight.
