Plot

The Stooges are troubadours in medieval times. The villainous Black Prince has designs on marriage to Elaine, the princess. She, however, is in love with Cedric, the blacksmith. The Stooges try to intervene for Cedric by serenading Elaine. They are captured by the king's guards and condemned to be beheaded. Elaine sends them tools baked in a loaf of bread and they escape the dungeon.

While running from the guards, Moe overhears the Black Prince plotting with a co-conspirator to murder the king. The Stooges save the day by causing a diversion by dancing in armor to Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home", thus allowing Elaine to free Cedric. Finally, the king realizes the plot and jails the Black Prince and his fellow plotter. Elaine is allowed to marry Cedric, and they all live happily ever after.

Notes

• This short would later be remade in 1954 as Knutzy Knights, using old footage from Squareheads of the Round Table.
• In the chase sequence right after the Stooges escape the dungeon, the emblem on the two guards' tabards are different from how it had been for the whole episode until then.
• This and All Gummed Up are the longest Three Stooges shorts to feature Shemp Howard.
