Plot

In Medieval England, minstrel Alan-a-Dale narrates the story about an heroic outlaw named Robin Hood. While crossing Sherwood Forest, Robin and his friend Little John narrowly escape capture by the Sheriff of Nottingham and his archers. They learn that the arrogant, greedy, and immature Prince John — who has usurped the throne from his brother King Richard after his aide-de-camp Sir Hiss hypnotized Richard into fighting in the Crusades — will be traveling through the forest. Disguised as fortunetellers, they rob the Royal caravan, embarrassing Prince John, who promises revenge.
