All it takes is a computer command and Flattop Kincaid is zapped back for a second visit to Medieval England. He's thrilled to find his friend William and to join him on a journey, but is shocked by the unfairness and cruelty that is a part of daily life in the Middle Ages. William has been knighted and must serve his brother James, Lord of Wickshire, who enjoys making outrageous demands; Flattop is also horrified by the way James treats his wife, Alica. When Flattop decides he must make a stand for justice, he ends up in a dungeon crawling with bugs and rats. Imprisoned in irons, all he can do is hope the computer wizard will rescue him.
