Dates: 1971 (Copyright), 26 December 1971 (Release)Country: United KingdomDirected by: Bob Kellett
Synopsis: Comedy spoof. Serf Lurkalot, raised in a pig sty, is really the older twin of King Richard the Lionheart. Lurkalot comments (to camera) on life at the crumbling castle where he lives as servant to the family of the impoverished Sir Coward de Custard. The evil Sir Braggart de Bombast is filled with desire for Lobelia, Sir Coward's daughter, and he plans to take over the castle. Lurkalot is a skilled maker of chastity belts, and he provides one to make sure Sir Braggart cannot have his wicked way with Lobelia. Sir Braggart challenges Sir Coward to a joust, using their knights of choice, with Lobelia as the main prize. As Sir Coward has no knight, Lurkalot enters the contest instead, and manages to win by pulling his opponent's armour off using a large magnet (which he has invented). Sir Coward eventually goes off to the Crusades, and when Lurkalot follows him he is surprised to find that the crusades are in fact one non-stop party in a desert tent, where knights can relax in the company of young women, far away from the troubles of home, with all the fun overseen by the friendly Saladin. In a neighbouring tent, King Richard is busy going through the Kama Sutra with Scheherazade and has no desire to go home, but finally agrees to. In Germany en route home, Richard stops off to see his girlfriend Gretel and gives Lurkalot the crown so he can have a go at being king. Lurkalot returns to England wearing the crown but nobody believes he is king. He finds Sir Coward's son Knotweed befriending Robin Hood and his men, who wear make-up and only rob the rich to buy themselves nice clothes. King Richard returns to England but everyone thinks he is Lurkalot. Robin Hood and his men help defend Sir Coward's castle from Sir Braggart, and during this struggle, Lurkalot inadvertently invents an explosive which he names 'gone-powder', since it makes a sturdy door gone. Lurkalot ends up with Lobelia and he has the key to her chastity belt.
