The story of the adventure comedy Let the Knights Live takes you to the dark corners of a massive castle and a nearby fortress that looms defiantly in close proximity, surrounded by a deep forest. The peaceful coexistence is disrupted by an unexpected event. Martin of Vamberk, an honourable knight and caring father of five, is accused of witchcraft and robbery. He travels to the royal court to defend his honour, leaving the fortress in the hands of his eldest son Peter and his siblings. Little does he know that the denunciation is the work of his envious, greedy and thoroughly slimy neighbour, Albrecht of Krvenos, who desires nothing more than to seize the estate. It seems that evil has already won. But Albrecht soon discovers that defeating a bunch of petty knights is sometimes harder than defeating an army of Saracens... Will the children be able to defeat a much stronger enemy?
