In this fanciful musical adaptation of Mark Twain’s classic tale, easygoing blacksmith Hank Martin (Bing Crosby at the height of his postwar stardom) is mysteriously transported from 1912 to the 6th-century court of King Arthur (Cedric Hardwicke). Mistaken for a powerful wizard, Hank uses his knowledge of modern technology to astonish the medieval court, while befriending the good-natured knight Sir Sagramore (William Bendix) and catching the eye of Arthur’s beautiful niece, Alisande (Rhonda Fleming). But Hank’s attempts to modernize Camelot soon put him at odds with the court’s scheming forces, and he is ultimately forced to joust the legendary Sir Lancelot for Alisande’s hand.
