Dreamy Knights is a 1916 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy.[1]
This plot summary was published in The Moving Picture World for August 26, 1916:[2]
An amusing burlesque of Cervante's (sic) immortal "Don Quixote" is the theme of this one-reel picture, Babe Hardy, Billy Ruge and Ray Podfrey heading the cast. Plump and Runt are discovered fishing from a boat. They go to sleep and dream they are the heroes of a great adventure. Although still in the present century, they imagine that they are a pair of bold knights whose mission is to rescue beauty in distress and defeat villainy at every turn. A captured maiden is freed by them, and a pirate stronghold overthrown. Their gallant steeds are an undersized donkey and an underfed goat. Plump and Runt make a ludicrous pair of swashbucklers, until awakened from their pleasant dreams by the upsetting of the boat.
