After Uther is mortally wounded, he forces Excalibur into a stone. Using a spell, Merlin ensures the sword will remain there until Arthur, Uther's son, comes to claim it. At a tournament, Arthur, a young squire, stuns the kingdom by pulling Excalibur from the stone. He uses the wondrous sword to establish the kingdom of Camelot. For a time, there is peace and prosperity, but this period of happiness is fleeting.
