Part 2: "The Capture of Camelot"

Synopsis:
After completing an adventure together, Superman and Batman are challenged by a knight in armor who appears from nowhere. The knight defeats the World's Finest team and brings them back in time to the days of Camelot. He reveals himself as Sir Lancelot and reveals that magic weapons created by Merlin allowed him to beat the heroes.

Superman and Batman are then recruited by King Arthur to retake Camelot from a group of alien imposters. Aided by magic weapons, the Knights of the Round Table join with Superman and Batman to siege the castle.

After achieving victory over their opponents, Batman and Superman learn that they were duped into helping the aliens defeat the real Knights of the Round Table. They escape their doom however and help the real knights fight back using weapons that appear to give them super powers. After the aliens are finally vanquished, Batman and Superman are knighted by Arthur before returning to their own time.
