Robin Hood (Richard Greene) and Friar Tuck (Alexander Gauge) have a wager: Who can collect more money, Robin posing as a beggar or the friar by praying. Things turn out rather unexpectedly when Robin finds out the beggars has hooked up with are actually thieves, and he relieves them off their money to return it to its rightful owner (Gudrun Ure), while Tuck tricks two fake monks (Willoughby Gray, Victor Woolf) out of their money.

So so episode with quite a few humourous touches - and quite a few homosexual allusions, from the friendly wrestling between Robin and the friar at the beginning of the story via Robin and a beggar playing strip-knifethrowing (similar in sorts to strip poker) to the friar literally sitting on Robin towards the ending. Not that these allusions say much of course, I just found it interesting to note.
