Boastful knight Sir Kelton and his bookish squire arrive in the village of Bridgetown to discover that a dragon is menacing the area and causing hardship to the villagers. While Sir Kelton insists that the squire won't find the solution in his books, he charges out to defeat the dragon, but doesn't return after several days. The squire humbly and methodically approaches the problem facing the villagers and learns the truth about the alleged curse upon the town and the dragon supposedly responsible for it.
