Plot Synopsis

Hammer’s first venture into colour was this occasionally lively low-budget costume adventure. The year is 1150, Robin Hood (Don Taylor) is persuaded by two nobles whom he believes to be loyal to King Richard (Patrick Holt) to recover secret plans attaining to the rescue of the king from captivity in Germany. Though disguised as a troubadour, Robin is betrayed and captured. Lady Alys (Eileen Moore) and the merry men help him escape in time to foil an intended ambush on King Richard as he returns from the Crusades. A moderate success, a sequel, Friar Tuck, was announced but never came to fruition.
