Storyline:
Guest star Henry Jones plays a flamboyant eccentric who imagines himself to be King Arthur. Wearing full armor, "Arthur" rescues Adam Cartwright from stagecoach bandits. When Adam is accused of masterminding the holdup, he finds that no one believes his wild yarn about a "knight in shining armor"-and before long, virtually everyone in the cast is convinced that Adam has gone off the deep end. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"The accent is on comedy in this Bonanza episode with Henry Jones as a slightly addled old senior citizen roaming the plains in armor on a charger looking to slay dragons and defeat villains. He chases off some bandits led by Rudolfo Acosta that were attempting to rob a stage that Adam Cartwright is a passenger on. Only problem is that Pernell Roberts is all that's left to tell the tale and Sheriff Charles Watts is having trouble believing him.
Nice to see that this Bonanza episode comes right out of the medieval classic Don Quixote. And while Jones doesn't tilt windmills he does get his lance caught in a runaway stagecoach in a very funny sequence.
This is one to watch if you're in need of a good laugh." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

there was no shortage of interesting and talented character actors back then

[@heykazambrano5695]

What cracks me up most, is that Roberts actually played King Arthur in Camelot on stage, before he was cast for Bonanza. Same with the episode " woman of fire". At the end of that episode he's standing there with Hoss and Joe reading from "taming of a shrew" which he also had played in on stage. He must have had such flashbacks!!! Gooollly, I love that guy.......he was brilliant.....

[@corinnecm776]

Pernell was so funny in this episode. Pernell was my favorite, and he was very good when he had the lead role. I watch the show because of Pernell.

To me Hoss was the nice always trying to see the good in everyone Little Joe had a bad temper always wanting to fight even with his brothers Adam was in between he may have not been as sweet as Hoss or as mean as Joe and that's what I liked about him

I love those funny episodes, Adam are in the best ones, the actor is great in comedy as well.

[@AndrewVelonis]

I'm glad you enjoy them, I just find them silly.

[@eternalsovereign8278]

These episodes are exactly why Pernell (Adam) quit the show, so it's like you're saying you like the fact that he quit. 😁 No offense or anything, just pointing out something that you might not know. You're free to like them; it just makes your opinion highly ironic if you know the whole story.

[@pernellgirly8064]

"Well Gwendoline, all the worlds a stage and in his time one man plays many parts" lol. Good one Pernell! In your time you played many parts and played them so well! I really enjoyed this episode! You are so missed Pernell...RIP Mr Roberts!!

[@pernellgirly8064]

@n/a Rubbish! All the cast had their as you call it " superiority complexes" , No one wanted him to leave and he was friends with them all! Yes he had artistic differences with them all , as they did with him but they wanted him to stay, Lorne Greene tried to persuade him to stay. Michael Landon stopped any future actor from taking Pernell's place because he thought it would take the focus of of him. The door was left open in the hope he would come back to the role of Adam as no one could replace him. Tell me ...where is your information and justification coming from? I'm interested!

[@pernellgirly8064]

@n/a WoW...Really? That was part of the scene! It was written in to end the storyline which was a funny episode! Is that what you are basing on him having a "Superiority complex" "distasteful" and "Napoleonic" attitude? He WAS a professional and accomplished actor! OF COURSE HE NEW THE CAMERAS WERE ROLLING!!! I'm amazed that this stupidity is how you have decided that the man was "not missed by anyone who worked with him, his superiority complex especially with his co-stars in this series was quite distasteful and Napoleonic". You need to watch it again, It has to have a funny ending to follow through from the context of the first premise of comedy. Mabey the sardonic part of Adam Alluded you!

[@pernellgirly8064]

@n/a Really? Your joke is on you brown nose twat! Pernell did westerns before and after Bonanza! Yes he grew to despise the Adam character because the promises by Dortort to progress the character did not materialise! No your wrong on anyone celebrating him leaving they wanted him to stay! Michael Landon said in an interview that " they took a leaf out the table and split Pernell's salary between them" but in an interview with Dan Blocker he said after Pernell left which they tried to persuade him to stay, the work load got heavier and harder, that's why the pay was split! Dortort said in an interview that each had their own attitudes and caused problems, Michael Landon was a stirrer that wound up Lorne Greene and caused problems! Your on the shallow research of things and I think a stirrer and a troll!

[@Sandy-pg9ew]

@@pernellgirly8064 You are a perfect exampIe of a person too caught up in their own fantasy and IIust to accept the truth of what actually is. You need to really sort out your tendencies to reject anything that dispIeases what you want to be true. Because it obviously has a major impact on your Iogic, its not hard to learn how Pernell Roberts feIt about and treated what he was tasked to be apart of when it comes to westerns or any Iow cIass theatre. Idk if its because you're just an individual who refuses to believe what they dont appreciate or a troII. Either way, how you are acting is gross and immature

[@voiceofreason7856]

@n/a The funniest thing about YOU is - for someone who doesn't seem to like Pernell Roberts , has nothing good to say about him, and choses to name call anyone who disagrees with you - you chose a picture of HIM to be your avatar. Are you stupid, confused, or just jealous of a very underrated and good actor ? Come on - we're curious, here.

"Peasants." Great closing line!
