Unsatisfied with the troubadour lifestyle, Max dreams of becoming a knight. After a run-in with a thief Max and Uncle Budrick travel to Byjovia, Budrick's hometown, but when they arrive, it's 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.
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.
