SYNOPSIS ACT I King Arthur travels the land with his servant Patsy, trying to recruit Knights of the Round Table to join him in Camelot. Sir Robin and Sir Lancelot meet as they attempt to dispose of the sickly Not Dead Fred. They agree to become Knights of the Round Table together.

Meanwhile, Arthur attempts to convince a peasant named Dennis Galahad that he (Arthur) is King of England. However, Dennis and his mother, Mrs. Galahad, are political radicals and deny that any king who has not been elected by the people has any legitimate right to rule. To settle the issue, Arthur has the Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls appear to turn Dennis into Sir Galahad the Knight. Together, with Sir Bedevere and Sir Not-AppearingIn-This-Show, they make up the Knights of the Round Table.

The five knights gather in Camelot where they are contacted by God who tells them to locate the Holy Grail. Urged on by the Lady of the Lake, the Knights set off. They are viciously taunted by lewd French soldiers at a castle, and attempt to retaliate by sending them a large wooden rabbit in the style of the Trojan Horse; however, they realize after the fact that they were supposed to be inside of it. Defeated, they leave when the French begin throwing various barnyard animals at them.

ACT II Lost in an expansive forest, King Arthur meets the Knights who say Ni, who demand of King Arthur a series of tasks including putting on a Broadway musical.

The Black Knight appears but King Arthur defeats him by cutting off his limbs. After wandering the forest, Sir Robin finds King Arthur. While the Lady of the Lake laments her lack of stage time, Sir Lancelot receives a letter from what he assumes is a young damsel in distress. He is surprised to find that the damsel is actually a young man named Herbert whose father, the King of Swamp Castle, is forcing him into an arranged marriage. Lancelot advocates for Herbert after the king returns, and Lancelot is outed as a homosexual in the process.

King Arthur begins to give up hope of ever putting on a Broadway musical and laments that he is alone. The Lady of the Lake appears and tells Arthur that he and the Knights have been in a Broadway musical all along. All that’s left is for King Arthur to find the Grail and marry someone. After picking up on some not-too-subtle hints, Arthur decides to marry the Lady of the Lake after he finds the Grail.

Reunited with his Knights, Arthur meets Tim the Enchanter who warns them of the danger of an evil rabbit. When the rabbit bites a knight’s head off, Arthur uses the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch against it, knocking down a nearby hill and revealing a large stone block showing a combination of letters and numbers. After pondering the final clue, the Grail is “found”; Arthur marries the Lady of the Lake; Lancelot marries Herbert; and Sir Robin decides to pursue a career in musical theater.
