Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Cam M. Bert, the doughty knight of the Ancient and Dishonorable Order of Insufferable Cheeses, fares forth. He overwhelms his opponents with the mere power of his personality. His rusty steed Ada Mant snorts in true charger fashion, and they proceed to scale the cliffs to a Donjon tower, whatever that is. The ascent, however, is sheer and precipitous, also steep and inclined. It has no regard for knightly dignity, and manages, at the most inopportune time (for Cam) to slip from beneath the feet of the noble colt. Persistency wins the day, however, and they finally gain the summit. It is only to find that the notorious, man-eating Geewhizicuss occupies that and adjacent territory. Does Cam care? You bet he does. He is chased by the scaly antediluvian, and they battle all over the place. The day is particularly warm though, and Cam M. Bert’s strength prodigious, stupendous, and enormous. He finally overcomes the Cuss, and as reward for his prowess wins the hand of the King’s daughter.
