King Richard (Patrick Barr) has returned to England incognito to pay his friend Robin Hood (Richard Greene) a visit - and to have a bit of revenge on those who conspire against him while he's abroad, first and foremost one Lord de Belvoir (John Dearth), whom he lures to Sherwood forest with Maid Marian's (Bernadette O'Farrell) help, then has tried by Robin and his men before he fights, defeats and kills him in a duel, with Robin and company fending off the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Wheatley) and his men.

Nothing great, but a naive adventure story that might be most appreciated by pre-teen boys - good thing then that this series was aimed at exactly this market segment.
