Summary
On a field trip to the medieval fair, Arthur's class is being humiliated in competitions against a class led by Mr. Ratburn's old teacher. Can Arthur turn things around?
Plot
The episode opens with the kids going on a field trip to a medieval fair. When they make it to the fair, Mr. Ratburn's class sees that another school, Glenbrook Academy is there too.
The teacher with them is Mr. Price-Jones, who was Mr. Ratburn's teacher when he was in school. Arthur notices a sword put in a stone and anyone who can get it out will become "king of the fair", but no matter how hard he pulls, it will not come out.
Throughout the day the Lakewood kids compete with the Glenbrook kids in several middle ages-themed competitions, losing every single one. Arthur loses at a medieval maze. Francine loses at archery. The Brain fails at a trivia competition.
Buster even loses at a pie eating contest! At lunch, it is revealed that Mr. Price-Jones was very strict, and when Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Brain overhear Mr. Haney talking with him. They think that if Lakewood loses all of the contests Mr. Price-Jones will replace Mr. Ratburn.
The final event is a castle building contest. The Lakewood kids work hard and build a beautiful castle, but they lose to Glenbrook because their castle is not historically accurate. Arthur and the gang are dejected because they think that Mr. Price-Jones will replace Mr. Ratburn, but fortunately Mr. Ratburn will stay.
At the end of the day the Glenbrook kids ad Mr. Price-Jones all try to remove the sword from the stone, but they all fail. When it is Arthur's turn, he is able to pull it out. Arthur becomes the King of the Fair and everyone cheers.
