Plot[]
The Stooges are troubadours sent to cheer up the broken-hearted Princess Elaine. Her father, the King, has pledged her hand in marriage to the Black Prince, but she loves Cedric, the local blacksmith.
The Stooges try to intervene for Cedric by serenading Elaine (they sing a variation on the Sextette from "Lucia di Lammermoor", with lyrics telling Elaine that Cedric is present and warning of the Black Prince's plot). They are captured by the king's guards and condemned to be beheaded. Eventually the King realizes the plot and throws the Black Prince and his fellow plotter in jail. Elaine is allowed to marry Cedric, and they all live happily ever after.
Notes[]
- Some parts of Knutzy Knights consist of footage recycled from Squareheads of the Round Table.
- This is the shortest Three Stooges short to feature Shemp Howard.
