Synopsis:
Merlin uses an enchantment to bring Sir Justin and Sir Butch back to the days of Camelot. A mistake causes them to be sent into the far future of the 35th century. The peaceful scientists of that era question the time travellers, since they possess weapons. When a traitorous group of rebels attacks, the Shining Knight and Sir Butch defend the people. The leaders realize that arms alone are only as good or evil as those who use them.

Merlin eventually locates the errant time travellers in the future. He corrects his enchantment, bring Justin and Butch back to Camelot for a feast.
