The Sword in the Scone
Good King Uther Pendragon has died with no heir. It’s up to Merlin, yet again, to find the next King of Camelot. With the help of some dubious knights and some really bad cooking, Merlin finds the next King, Arthur, when he pulls the sword of Avalon from an over-baked scone. With the sword in hand, Arthur reluctantly sets out to defeat the evil witch Morgana and the dragon in this riotously funny quest to become the true King of Camelot and rescue the Lady Guinevere held captive by the dragon!
