Toonfomercial: Apparently, this king didn't know how to knight anyone (1957)

 Chesterfield cigarettes used to be a big thing back in the day. Chesterfield was a sponsor of radio shows like Dragnet, for example.

In 1957, they commissioned this next item. Daws Butler does all the voices.


Couldn't they have asked Hanna-Barbera or Warner Bros. to do this one? The simplistic style really isn't a problem, but a king that can't knight anyone without beheading them ain't exactly a selling point.
