Roped into a get-rich-quick scheme by his uncle, misfit teenager Alfred Kropp sort of accidentally steals Excalibur from the modern-day knights who are sworn to protect it. Not surprisingly, this does not sit well with the forces of good and evil, and he soon finds himself embroiled in high speed car chases (in a Lamborghini and BMW no less), sword fights, and power plays between centuries-old secret societies. Even kids unfamiliar with Arthurian legends will be captivated by this quick-paced adventure.
