Synopsis
King Otto hears that the Queen of one of his neighboring Kingdoms has a sorceress who can turn any metal into gold. He thus wants the magic spell and requests two volunteers. Sir Boris and Sir Morris volunteer and are made invisible by King Otto's wizard. As usual things don't turn out the way they should and King Otto ends up poorer than when he began.
