When Harold, King Arthur's brother, escapes from prison to search for the almighty Dark Hamster and overthrow his brother from the throne, Hopper decides to go after him. With the help of his faithful servant Archie, a sarcastic turtle, and Meg, a skunk expert in martial arts, he embarks on an epic adventure.
