Adventurous Knights is a 1935 American comedy adventure film directed by Charles E. Roberts and starring David Sharpe, Gertrude Messinger and Mary Kornman.[1] It was parody reworking of The Prisoner of Zenda.[2] It was intended to be the first of six films featuring former Our Gang actors produced for Poverty Row studio Ajax Pictures, but only this and Roaring Roads were ever made.[3]
A successful American college athlete discovers that he is really the heir to the throne of a small Ruritanian European Kingdom. He travels there to take up his duties and see off a challenge from a pretender. He is appalled to discover that he has to marry a girl he has never seen before, without realizing he has met and fallen in love with her already.
