Plot

Following the death of Richard the Lionheart, evil King John plans to retain his power by importing mercenaries and paying them through oppressive taxation.

When Flemish knight Sir Baldric challenges Robin, the Earl of Huntingdon, to a joust, the king's henchmen fix a faulty protective cap to Sir Baldric's lance. Surviving the lance attack, Robin challenges Sir Baldric to joust without using protective devices, successfully impaling his opponent.
