In Medieval England Arthur encounters Merlin, whose magic turns out to be early scientific inventions. When Sir Arthur disappears before the tournament, Superboy challenges the Black Knight, who fights him with a red kryptonite mace, which makes Superboy magnetic. This enables him to find Sir Arthur, unmask the Black Knight as Merlin, and help Arthur draw the sword from the stone. Arthur and Merlin reconcile, and the new king marries the Lady Guinevere.
