The Brave Sir Ginger

"The magic sword just got more magic!"

- Ginger

The Brave Sir Ginger is the 21st episode of Season 5 of Talking Tom and Friends.

Synopsis
Talking Ginger finds a magical sword that lets him become a gallant knight, but soon finds himself in a fight he’s not sure he can win.

Plot
Ginger was at a school field trip to the museum, bored from the topics covered in the tour. Then, he sees a sword wedged into a tree stump; no one was allegedly able to pull it out, and one who does would become a knight.

Ginger attempts to pull out the sword, and succeeds. He takes home the sword and plays around with it dangerously until Tom intervenes. However, the sword manages to speak, and offers to train Ginger to become a true knight. However, Ginger simply rides his bike, slashing everything he sees with the sword in hand.

At the garage, the friends find that the sword had not been given a chance to train him. However, when Ginger enters the garage, he finds the place is ransacked, with Hank missing. A dark mage appears, claiming to have captured Hank. The wizard tells Ginger to meet him at the forest if he wished to rescue Hank.

Realizing that being a knight was a scary job, he decided to follow the sword's instruction. He crafts a shield out of metal, draws a crest and makes a candle out of molten wax. The sword then instructs him to use what he learned together. Ginger insists on fighting alone, and finds the wizard in the forest.

Ginger combines the three items together and expects a powerful spell, only to be chased away when the spell refused to work. He finds Tom, who realizes that together meant he had to fight with his friends.

In the end, they manage to knock down the wizard together. Just when Ginger was about to attack the wizard, the sword congratulates him for completing the interactive lesson on medieval knights. It turned out that the quest was an interactive game created by the museum to make their lessons more exciting. The wizard turned out to be the museum director, and the friends were all in on it. Ginger was mad that he was tricked, but Tom reminded him that he still had fun. The museum director politely asks the friends to leave as another child was coming.
