...half-burlesque, like its predecessor it mixes wisecracks and Morte d'Arthur, scrambles legend and topical satire. While her husband King Lot is away fighting Arthur, Queen Morgause, comic symbol of the egocentric wife, attempts the seduction of lovesick King Pellinore (3.2 Don Quixote) and Sir Grummore Grummursum (Sancho Panza on rye).

Next he was Pharaoh, telling ''Little Joseph" Wallace: "I had a dream last night. There were seven nice fat budgets all printed in black ink and along came seven...
