Synopsis:
Sir Oswald orders Brian Kent to capture the Silent Knight. Since he himself is the Knight, Brian knows he must fail. However, when an imposter appears wearing the armor of the Silent Knight, Brian captures him. Sir Oswald orders the man's execution. Brian then dons his armor and appears as the real Silent Knight to save the imposter from death. However, the man is really in Oswald's employ, serving as bait for a trap. The Silent Knight escapes the trap by diving into the moat. He then slips out of his armor and hides in the crowd as Brian. Oswald's plan has failed, and Brian's secret is safe.
