Synopsis:
The Shining Knight hears about a sword being discovered that is thought to be Excalibur. The sword is actually a fake used by a boxer's publicity agent and manager in an attempt to restore the confidence of One-Punch Purdy.

Gangster Rooker Castle wants the sword for himself and tries to steal it. The Shining Knight arrives at the same time to see the sword. Although the Knight tries to stop Castle, the crook gets away.

With Purdy's help, the Shining Knight tracks down the crooks. The sword is then proved to be a fake, but Purdy has gotten his confidence back without it.
