Synopsis
When old Mr. Quixano's imagination runs away with him, bedlam befalls a quiet Spanish town. Accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho, who desires nothing more than three square meals a day and his own island, knight-errant Don Quixote has arrived to inflict "justice" on farmers and tourists, giants pretending to be windmills and even on very real and dangerous lions! But sometimes even a knight needs a knight in shining armor; when the townspeople finally crush Quixote's spirit in the name of calm, it's up to Dulcinea the Doughnut Lady to pick up the mantle and demonstrate her bravery and wisdom.
