A teenager named Alfred Kropp lives in a small apartment with his Uncle Farrell, who is a security guard.
He stays mostly secluded, both at home and at school.
A man named Arthur Myers calls Alfred's uncle at work, and offers one million dollars for the return of an object stolen from him, a sword, by Uncle Farrell's boss, Bernard Samson.
Basically, Alfred has to break into the main office, find the safe, and steal the sword himself, accidentally cutting himself on the blade.
Then when he is about to leave, he is attacked by three monks armed with swords as well.
A battle ensues, but Alfred manages to defeat them though he has never fought with a sword whereas his enemies seem experienced.
Alfred and Uncle Farrell manage to escape to their apartment, where they are attacked by Arthur Myers.
He steals the sword, and kills Uncle Farrell, but spares Alfred.
Alfred meets Bernard Samson who explains to him that Arthur Myers was an alias of an international terrorist, who wanted control of Bernard's sword, which was Excalibur, and that the monks were actually the heirs of knights who vowed to protect the sword.
Bernard Samson goes off to Xàtiva, Spain, to try to reclaim the Sword from Myers, whom he knows as Mogart.
A member of an international organization called OIPEP interjects that their codename for Mogart is 'The Dragon'.
When Alfred asks Samson if there is anything he can do to help, Samson replies, "Pray." Alfred returns to his normal life unwillingly, and is taken into a foster home owned by a family call...
