Plot[]
Dunwyn's most famous paladin, Sir Victor (aka the White Knight), pays a visit to King Gregor's court, and Cavin is tasked with being a page to the hero for the remainder of the stay.

Trivia[]
- Sunni and Tummi Gummi appear, but have no lines.
- This is the only episode in the series to not immediately begin with a title card, but instead with a series of illustrated book pages shown to a minstrel's song about the White Knight. The title appears as the minstrel finishes his song.
- This episode reveals Duke Igthorn's first name to be Sigmund.
- Toadie's pronunciation of the word "knight" ("kinnigit") is a reference to the French soldier who taunts King Arthur and his knights in the film Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
- This is the eighteenth episode to premiere separately from its sibling segment, which had aired the previous week. Both segments were later combined, as originally intended, for all subsequent airings.
