A Connecticut Yankee (1931)
Hank Martin, a radio repairman, is knocked unconscious by an armored figure while trying to fix a radio for a slightly crazed customer who believes he is listening in on discussions from Arthur's Round Table. In a dream, Martin finds himself in England in the year 528, where he amazes Arthur's court with his cigarette lighter, motorcycles, automobiles, machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, tanks and airplanes. All these modern additions to life in Camelot only serve to reinforce a plot designed to unite two lovers. 3
