While most of the knights are away from the castle, Cedric the Black makes a challenge. The elderly Sir Grot is the only knight that can meet the challenge to defend the castle. Brian helps Sir Grot, but he soon discovers that Cedric has more men lurking in Forest Perilous. Brian dons the armor of the Silent Knight and faces off against the bandits. Lady Celia is taken captive by the evil knights, but the Silent Knight bests them all including Cedric. Lady Celia returns to the castle unharmed and unaware that the Silent Knight is really Brian Kent.
