When Mickey's nephews visit Goofy and admire his majestic sword, he mesmerizes the boys with the fabled story of his great-great grandfather, Sir Goofylad, who forged the sword himself in his smithy. When King Mickey's knights were too cowardly to defeat the vicious dragon who had terrorized the kingdom, Sir Goofylad volunteered to give it a try. Once he met the dragon, he realized the creature wasn't vicious at all, but only needed someone to help fix his hurt paw. When Sir Goofylad obliges, the two return peacefully to the kingdom as friends. To reward him for "taming" the dragon, Mickey makes Goofy a knight.
