Story : To earn a living, anarchist troubadours organize medieval jousts, with motorcycles instead of horses. Billy, the chief of this sect of lunatics on bike, tries to become king Arthur. But Morgan, one of his knights, tries to dethrone him.

In an attempt to try something else, George A. Romero gives us his version of the Knights of the Round Table, in this polemical pamphlet with a strange rhythm, foreshadowing the cinema of Paul Verhoeven. One of his most peculiar movies with Season of the Witch (1972) and Martin (1977).
