A swashbuckling adventure tale of a young outlaw hero gathering loyal companions to fight injustice and win his beloved, grounded in heroic idealism and camaraderie.

Young Robin Hood, in love with Maid Marian, enters an archery contest with his father at the King's palace. On the way home his father is murdered by henchmen of Prince John. Robin takes up the life of an outlaw, gathering together his band of merry men with him in Sherwood Forest, to avenge his father's death and to help the people of the land that Prince John are over taxing.
