Unsatisfied with the troubadour lifestyle, Max dreams of becoming a knight. After escaping from a thief, Max and Uncle Budrick go to Byjovia, Budrick's hometown, but when they arrive, it is not as Uncle Budrick remembers it.

When Uncle Budrick is held captive as King Gastley's jester, it's up to Max to rescue him from the castle's dungeon, with a little help from her newest pals, Simon, Millie, Kevyn, and world-renowned wizard, Mumblin.

Things take an unexpected turn when Max and the Midknights attempt to break into the castle to save Uncle Budrick. Meanwhile, Uncle Budrick entertains King Gastley like his life depends on it.

Chaos ensues as Max & the Midknights try to break Uncle Budrick out of the castle before he is beheaded. With Mumblin's help, they narrowly escape King Gastley's clutches and later learn from Kevyn that King Conrad is alive!

As King Gastley searches the kingdom for Max and the others, Max & the Midknights learn about a prophecy and devise a plan to escape from Byjovia to find the missing King Conrad.

Knowing there's a prophecy written about her, Max feels confident that the Midknights' quest will be a success! Her confidence is dashed when Uncle Budrick is captured by a hungry chef and the Midknights face off with a pair of ferocious trolls.
