Synopsis:
A group of gangsters receive a tip from a janitor at the city museum which leads them to a storage room in which they find the Shining Knight's armor. The crooks steal the enchanted armor and replace it with a false set. Ranny Roves, one of the crooks, dons the armor and robs Eve Barclay's father. The Shining Knight is then labeled a crook.

The real Shining Knight, unknowingly dons the false armor, and pursues the crooks. When he encounters Ranny, he is surprised when his false sword breaks. The crooks escape, and the Shining Knight is arrested. However, Victory breaks him out of jail and leads him to the crooks. Sir Justin then uses his wits to defeat the gang, retrieve his stolen armor, and bring Ranny to jail.
