England, late 12th century. King Richard the Lion-Hearted, back from the Crusades, has been taken prisoner at Durensteien Castle in Austria. His chances of escaping are slim; his ransom, exorbitant. In his absence, his brother, Prince John, has taken over the throne with the help of some powerful Norman barons.
Extortion, racketeering, taxation of all sorts, and the proclamation of unjust laws have become par for the course. The people of England are bending to the will of these unscrupulous individuals. But North of Nottingham, in the heart of Sherwood Forest, one man refuses to give in to the Normans. This rebel, an outstanding archer, calls himself Robin Hood.

Robin has sworn to return the throne to King Richard, but to do this, he must collect enough gold to pay the King’s ransom and chase Prince John from the kingdom.
