The story
The year is 932. King Arthur travels the land in search of brave men to join his Knights of the Round Table. Along the way, he debates whether swallows can carry coconuts, explains to two anarcho-syndicalist peasants how he received Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, and chops up the "invincible" Black Knight. After leaving Camelot in disappointment ("It is a silly place"), God appears to him from the clouds and assigns him a mission: to find the Holy Grail.
