"A Knight in Shining Armor" begins as a girl named Dougless Montgomery has taken a trip to visit the English Countryside with her boyfriend, Robert, and his daughter, Gloria. As the trip progresses she gets in a fight with her boyfriend and he abandons her in the foreign country with no money, or way of getting back to America.

Being stranded at a church, she feels as if she is a failure, and leans on a nearby tomb stone crying out for her "Knight in Shining Armor." Suddenly a man dressed in armor and carrying a sword appears on the scene. He is Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyke, who was executed on a charge of treason in 1564, but had somehow heard Dougless's cries. He now found himself in the year of 1988, standing next to Dougless.
