Mightier than the Sword
When Charlie The Hungry Moabite invents Latin rap music in 14th century Higginbotham Hollow, the religious elite decries it as demonic garbage. They drum him out of town into the uncharted wilderness of Corduroy Caverns, where he discovers Josh, a nerdy young softie who was supposed to kill the giant dragon who's been terrorizing the village.

Josh would prefer befriending the dragon and reading books to it, but his sarcastic talking sword threatens to turn against him if he does such a traitorous act. Charlie sympathizes with him and hatches a scheme to fool the villagers into thinking the dragon is dead using spaghetti sauce.

Somehow the prank goes awry, and the talking sword uses the spaghetti sauce to convince Josh he's accidentally killed Charlie. The sword thinks if it gets rid of the two cowardly custards, it can go kill the dragon by itself and get all the credit, eventually becoming king of the peasant villagers.

Charlie and the dragon take matters into their own hands, forming a friendly hip-hop duo which impresses the village priest when it helps heal a sick child.

Now convinced of the benefits of rap music and the goodwill of the dragon, the priest must help them rescue softhearted Josh from the vicious talking sword before it takes control of the land.
