It is winter and business is slack for outlaws. They may have to work just a little harder to track down the rich.
So Maid Marian has an idea. For Robin to take part in an archery contest. Her uncle is the birdwatching, animal loving vegetarian Earl of Rochdale.
He has been in dispute over boundary rights with the Earl of Northgate. The contest with settle the argument once and for all as well as 500 gold sovereigns.
As Robin Hood is an outlaw, he needs a letter of safe conduct signed by the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Rochdale is aghast to learn that Robin is an outlaw and wants nothing to do with the plan. Robin Hood sends an actor to pretend to be Rochdale, who the Sheriff has never met before.
This was a fun romp but a weak story. An Earl who does not know of Robin Hood. He has never met the Sheriff, a greedy man who likes to get to know the wealthy aristocracy.
There is a good cast here that includes Clive Revill and Nigel Davenport.
