The Maggie is a typical Clyde puffer, a small, aged cargo boat with a varied, irascible and argumentative crew. MacTaggart (Alex Mackenzie), her rascal of a captain, is in dire need of 300 pounds to renew his licence. In a shipping office by chance, he meets Mr Pusey (Hubert Gregg). Pusey, a proper Englishman complete with bowler hat and umbrella, is trying to arrange for the transportation of some personal furniture for his boss, American Calvin B. Marshall (Paul Douglas), as a present for his wife to furnish their new home. The big company has no ships immediately available, but MacTaggart gets the job when Pusey mistakenly believes that he works for the reputable shipping company and that the more modern vessel docked next to the Maggie is MacTaggart's.

John (Alan Ladd), a blacksmith and swordsmith, is tutored at Camelot. As a commoner, he can't hope to win the hand of Lady Linet (Patricia Medina), daughter of the Earl of Yeoniland (Harry Andrews), so he creates a secret alternative identity as the Black Knight. In this new role, he is now able to help King Arthur when Saracens and Cornishmen—disguised as Vikings—plot to take over the country. However, his thoughts are not only on the protection of England when the good Lady Linet becomes threatened. When conspirators within Camelot plan to use the "Vikings" to overthrow King Arthur, the Black Knight is branded a traitor.

A spacecraft is viewed flying over the British countryside by several eye witnesses, including a woman who gets into an auto accident as a result. Later, a man enters a country inn very near where the sighting and auto accident took place. Acting strangely, seemingly able to read people's thoughts, he gives no name but says he needs a room. The stranger (Helmut Dantine) also asserts that he is responsible for saving the life of Susan North (Patricia Neal), the road accident victim. When he explains that he comes from the planet Venus, Arthur Walker (Derek Bond), a high-ranking government official and Susan's fiancé, calls the War Ministry. A Dr. Meinard (Cyril Luckham) later examines the stranger from Venus and observes that he seems to have no pulse.

It is Halloween night and Olive is reading ghost stories to Popeye and Bluto. Both of the men want to have alone time with Olive, with Popeye wondering why Bluto hasn't gone home and Bluto wondering what to do to get rid of Popeye. Bluto decides to stage various pranks (a headless man, an animated skeleton, and a sheet-over-balloon ghost) to scare Olive and Popeye. He pins the blame on Popeye, Olive kicks him out of her house, and Bluto goes to comfort her.
