Armed with servants who crack coconuts, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) pretends to ride in search of knights and castles, seeing all the sights of the people along the way, interacting with a variety of cockamamie populace, and eventually recruiting a group of Knights of the Round Table.
Together, they pretend to ride to the castle of Camelot, and outside the castle, they meet God emerging from the sky, asking them to find the Holy Grail.
They try to capture a French castle with the “Book of the Wooden Badger”, but forget to hide in the wooden badger and are eventually defeated by the French.
