While boasting some interesting ideas, Quest of the Delta Knights cannot really take off because of general sloppiness and poor acting and writing. Tee, the son of a nobleman, is sent off by his father to safety. Instead, the Lord Vultare (played by David Warner) attacks his caravan and he is sold into slavery. Fortunately, a beggar named Baydool (also played by David Warner) buys him for a copper and teaches him how to beg.

Soon enough, Tee learns that the beggar is a member of the Delta Knights, a secret society that wants to end the Dark Ages and bring about an age of enlightenment, and Baydool thinks Tee is the key to making it happen (By the way, this premise was basically lifted from Robert Heinlein's Citizen of the Galaxy). After years of Delta Knight training, the dynamic duo learns that a map to the lost storehouse of Archimedes has come into Vultare's possession. They steal it from Vultare's mage, who has a New York accent (an example of the movie's sloppiness). They depicher it, very easily in fact, and Baydool sends Tee off to find the map. He is then arrested by Vultare.
Tee takes a break from his quest to rescue his mentor from Vultare's men (who have muskets in the 15th century), but Baydool is killed in the escape, by Lord Vultare (so, David Warner basically kills himself). Tee then heads off to meet his contact, Leonardo Da Vinci, who speaks with an English accent. After they rescue a slave girl named Thena, they proceed on their quest for the lost storehouse, little knowing that Vultare is following them...
It is not a terrible movie. But dull acting and sloppy work overall keep this one from being better than it could be.
