The story of the making of the 1948 film by United Artists starring William Graham, Garry Marsh,Jane Welsh,Kathleen Stuart and Hugh Cross.
William and his pals decide to become 'Knights of the Square Table',whose crusade is to right all wrongs.The first wrong to be righted is the important omission that none of them except Ginger (Brian Roper) possesses a bicycle,given to him by his brother about to get married.The obvious answer for the others is to marry off their own brothers.The results are hilarious,and for William and Co. exciting.Their schemes take them to the mysterious Manor House,where they stumble on a gigantic fur-smuggling racket.What happens after that you'll see in the picture - but the 'Knights' get their bikes!
