With only one week before the king names a new knight, Sir Simpleton graciously agrees to teach young hopeful Sam everything he knows. But his words don't always match his actions--when Sir Simpleton advises Sam to defeat a dragon to prove his bravery, for example, Sir Simpleton's shown fighting a cow. This comedic interplay between the digital pictures and text bolsters an otherwise uneventful plot.
