A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court

Mechanic Hank Martin is knocked unconscious and awakens in King Arthur's realm. He is quickly captured and sentenced to die by the court, who treat him as a stranger and a potential sorcerer. He must navigate a world far from his own while his fate hangs in the balance.

In a dramatic display, Hank lights a match and claims to be a wizard, stunning the king and his courtiers. The moment earns him a wary audience and a surprising chance to survive. The crowd remains skeptical, but Hank gains a foothold in Arthur's court.

Arthur rewards Hank with a blacksmith shop, a squire, and the title Sir Boss. The court begins to rely on his unorthodox expertise as he tinkers with metal and machines. Hank's position cements his role in Camelot's future.

Hank introduces modern touches—jazz rhythms, safety pins, firearms, and simple machinery—into Camelot's life. His flashy innovations win fans and provoke resistance among traditionalists. He also pursues Alisande and strikes up a friendship with Sir Sagramore.

Hank's presence stirs romantic interest from Alisande la Carteloise and initiates a bond with Sir Sagramore. His behavior, however, draws the ire of Merlin and Morgan le Fay, who view him as a threat to the established order. The stage is set for conflict.

The wizard duo grows hostile toward Hank, plotting to undermine him and undermine Arthur's rule. Their schemes create pressure within Camelot and raise the stakes for Hank's survival. Hank remains determined to shape the kingdom, despite the dangerous enemies.

Sir Lancelot returns from a quest to confront Hank over his bond with Alisande. The duel ends with Hank humiliating Lancelot, but his triumph costs him Alisande's affection as she sees his dishonor. The relationship fractures, fueling Hank's resolve.

A young girl asks Hank to save her ill father, and he learns of the injustices embedded in medieval law. Deeply affected, he resolves to show Arthur the suffering of his subjects. This experience motivates him to propose a kingdom-wide tour in disguise.

Inspired by the girl's tale, Hank persuades Arthur to tour his realm in disguise so he can witness the wretched conditions firsthand. The journey extends beyond Camelot, testing loyalties and exposing the king to realities he had ignored. The plan risks provoking rebellion and moral reckoning.

While the king is away, Merlin and Morgan plot to seize power and capture Hank, Sagamore, and Arthur. They are sold as slaves to Merlin, and Alisande attempts to intervene but is captured. The heroes' fate hangs in the balance.

In captivity, Alisande admits her love for Hank. The others are condemned to be executed, raising the stakes and keeping Hank's hope alive. The romantic tension deepens amid the peril.

Hank's knowledge of an upcoming eclipse spooks his captors, enabling the release of the enslaved trio. The plan gives them a fighting chance to escape Merlin's grasp. The timing of the celestial event proves pivotal.

Hank races to rescue Alisande from Merlin's clutches, but is shot in the effort. The injury sends him back to his own time, ending the Arthurian adventure for now. He is left heartbroken by the loss of the woman he loves.

Heartsick, Hank tours a British castle upon returning to his era. Lord Pendragon invites him to meet his niece, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Alisande. The encounter hints at a future connection that could heal Hank's longing.

The castle owner, Lord Pendragon, sends Hank to see his niece who resembles Alisande, reinforcing the idea of a possible continuation of his romance. The story ends with the sense of hope and new possibility beyond Hank's time travel.
