Crazy Jane, as she's widely known. Given to long conversations with pot roasts, pork chops and other forms of cooked meat. Fortunately, Terry's loyal squire is prepared to take the fall-er, credit-for the feat and marry the addled girl . . . leaving the young knight stranded in his quest to become a hero. Meanwhile, back in Medula, Princess Gloria has problems all her own.
