Sir Walter Donnington (Ian Bannen) wants to marry Genevieve (Gillian
Sterrett), but her father Lord Blackstone (John Longden) has second
thoughts, because Donnington is loyal to King Richard, and he has long
wanted to get his hands on the Donnington lands to form an alliance
against the kind with Count de Clifford (John Dearth) - which Donnington
opposes. So Blackstone and Clifford make up a story that Donnington's
recently deceased father owed Clifford a large sum of money, pretty much
all of the Donnington estate - but these claims only make Donnington to
challenge Clifford to a duel. Clifford accepts but then decides not to
fight himself but send a champion swordsmaster into the ring. This is
where Robin Hood (Richard Greene) comes in, as he and his men knock out
Donnington for Robin to take his place in the duel - and defeat
Donnington's opponent in his stead. When everything is won and Donnington
comes to, he wants to have nothing to do with that sort of trickery, but
after a while comes to see it was the best to see for him and his estate,
and it puts his marriage to Genevieve back on track. An episode
that's pretty much free of surprises, and is thus definitely less than
special, within the series as well as on its own.
