Hank Morgan is a fiercely practical superintendent at a Hartford arms factory. But after a brawl leaves him unconscious, he awakens not in a hospital, but beneath the sprawling oak trees of 6th-century England, staring down the lance of a knight in shining armor. Captured and hauled to King Arthur's Round Table, Hank is condemned to burn at the stake. However, relying on his knowledge of history and science, he orchestrates a stunning "miracle" that saves his life and secures him a position as the second most powerful man in the kingdom. As the newly minted "Boss," Hank sets out to civilize a nation of superstitious peasants and haughty nobles by introducing electricity, gunpowder, and the telegraph, all while waging a covert war against the mighty wizard Merlin and the oppressive Church.
