Synopsis:
Sir Justin calls upon Merlin in order to return to the time of King Arthur. Merlin grants his request, but on the journey through time and space, Justin drops his sword. The time travel spell is halted in process, causing the Shining Knight to emerge prematurely in time.

Sir Justin soon encounters a tribe of indians living in a time before America was discovered by Europeans. Sir Justin is mistaken for a mythical flying warrior. The Shining Knight then helps the tribal chief complete a trial to maintain his leadership. The trial has been sabotaged by the chief's rival Black Owl. With Justin's help, the chief survives. Black Owl is banished from the tribe, and the Shining Knight returns to modern times.
