Synopsis:
Clark Kent visits a wealthy man, Burton, who wants to finance the construction of a time machine because he longs for the "good old days". During their conversation, Burton falls off a ledge, causing Superman to rescue him. Both men bump their heads during the fall.

When they awaken Superman and Burton find themselves in Camelot. Burton soon learns that the lack of modern conveniences, the brutality of the men, and the ignorance of the women do not appeal to him.

When Superman rescues a serf from unfair punishment, the knights of Camelot attack him. Burton and Superman flee the scene. Burton falls off a cliff. Superman rescues him, then both men discover themselves back in Metropolis. Burton gives up his plans for a time machine and begins to appreciate the modern world.
