A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
Norsemen have arrived on the shores of England led by Lief the Lucky who seeks to take over the kingdom of Camelot and rule England. Meanwhile not far away, Lady Rosamund is learning falconry with Sir Percy for company. She is impressed by his musical abilities but confesses that she wishes he could be a braver man. Suddenly Lief the Lucky and his men attack and Rosamund is taken prisoner. Percy attempts to defend her then remembers that an act of heroism could compromise his double identity and then appears to flee, leaving Rosamund to think of him as a coward. Sir Percy however is far from, and soon follows after Lief and his army after has changed into his alter-ego of the Black Knight. Meanwhile, Lief has come to find Rosamund to be quite fair and decides to take her back with him to be his bride in Germany when suddenly the Black Knight arrives at the shores and attacks. The Black Knight easily fights off Lief's forces and rides after his boat before it can get too deep out to sea. The Black Knight attacks their ship, grabbing Rosamund and pulling back as the Norsemen flee the scene. With noblemen from Camelot approaching, the Black Knight leaves them in her care. Back at the castle, Sir Percy offers to sing Rosamond a song about falconry, but she cheekily suggests he plays one about how he fled the Norsemen leaving her to be rescued by the Black Knight instead.
