Based on the Arthurian legend, in the midst of the Dark Ages, when England had no rightful ruler, a sword imbedded in a stone mysteriously appears in a London churchyard, bearing the inscription "Who so ever pulleth out the sword of this stone and anvil is right wise king born of England." Scores of would-be kings traveled to London to attempt the feat and thereby claim the throne. They all failed. Years later an 16-year-old squire nicknamed Wart meets the great magician Merlin. The well meaning, but absentminded, wizard declares himself Wart's mentor and claims that he will lead the boy to his destiny.
