Summary

Pathe synopsis: Astride their fiery steeds, two gallants prepare to do battle - weighed down by armour and with lances at the ready. Sports day at the court of King Arthur? No; the fiery steed of modern times is a motor scooter and the "lists" are at Wembley, Middlesex. But exponents of this 20th-century version of jousting require just as much skill and courage as their medieval predecessors.
