Instead of a shrewd Yankee blacksmith from Connecticut it's a NASA scientist played by Dennis Dugan who arrives in Camelot at the court of King Arthur in
Camelot. Dugan steps into the tradition of Will Rogers and Bing Crosby as
the Disney Studios now do its version of the old Mark Twain tale.
Only Dugan is not looking to modernize the place. In fact he got trapped in the
rocketship when it lifted off from Cape Kennedy. The passenger is supposed to
be a robot who looks like Dennis Dugan which is only right since he designed him.
So it's twins who arrive in Camelot .
But who can predict the ways of love as Dugan falls for peasant girl Sheila
White, the human Dugan that is.
But there's trouble afoot as Kenneth More who is King Arthur is having trouble
from Merlin who is played by Ron Moody and that ever villainous nephew of his Mordred played here by the Carry On troupe's Jim Dale.
With some NASA style ingenuity put to use Dugan takes up the King's cause and defeat's the villains as you would expect. As was in books and previous
films. Will he defy time and space and get the girl though?
It worked differently for Will and Bing.
