After their involvement in the death of a royal forester, Robin Hood, his best friend Will and Marian find themselves on the hit list of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. The sheriff’s men raid a pub in Lincolnshire and kidnap the beautiful Ellen Dierwald. The survivors of the raid soon become the Merry Men. Together they set out to steal taxes from right under the sheriff’s nose and distribute the treasure to the poor.
