- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: In days of old knights were doubtless bold, but have you ever thought how they must have suffered on a hot day in full armour? We meet Ken Buckeridge of Chipping Sodbury, who whould have made a fortune among jousters - for he makes rubber armour. The demand for these exact full-size replicas is constsant among property departments of film studios and theatres. With rubber swords thrown in, film knights can afford to be bold.
