Episodes
Season 1
Rage of the Mongols
A village on the outskirts of Sherwood Forest is regularly raided by a horde of Mongols. Robin and his band rescue a maiden from the village who has been kidnapped, angering the Mongols. The village elders refuse Robin's help in fighting back against them, fearing too much bloodshed, but the younger citizens are prepared to fight for their freedom.
Attack of the Vikings
A band of Vikings capture Prince John, to hold him for ransom, and Robin, who is out hunting with Little John. Robin and his men enable Prince John's escape, but will he live up to his promise to pardon Robin and his men?
Robin and the Golden Arrow
On Prince John's orders, Captain Delouche, an evil knight armed with magic, impenetrable armor, rounds up many young women from the Sherwood Forest area for a beauty contest, with marriage to Delouche for the winner and a sacrificial death for the loser. The abducted women include Little John's sister, Natalie. The magic armor can only be defeated by the Golden Arrow, which Robin has to take from Prince John's castle, and use against Delouche, to rescue the maidens.
A Race Against Death
The Saxon Lord Sedgewick owes a large amount in taxes to Prince John, and if he doesn't pay, his granddaughter, Lady Pamela, will have to marry Sir Gilbert. So she requests Robin's help. Robin enters a contest, The Race Against Death, devised by Prince John, with a huge sum of money as prize, but finds it is rigged against him. Robin ends up needing to be rescued by his men from inside the castle.
A Price on His Soul
Baragon is an evil creature, more than 300 years old, who has to keep drinking the blood of the innocent to keep him young and strong. To break out of this cycle, he makes a pact with the dark lord Orone to deliver Robin to him. His assistant captures members of Little John's family, and then Robin himself. Marion has to lead their rescue from the castle.
Marion to the Rescue
Marion sets out to save her young cousin, Iris, from a marriage arranged by her evil sister-in-law, Lady Isabelle, to Lord Garth. Isabelle has told Iris that her intended, Thomas of Glockshire, was killed in the crusades, but he is actually on his way back. He meets Robin and his men, who are on their way to help Marion. Marion saves Iris, and returns to Sherwood, only to find that Robin and his men are now catives in Isabelle's castle, and Marion must now return there to rescue them.
The Legend of Olwyn
Robin meets a young boy, Patrick, who leads a group of orphans on the run from Prince John's soldiers. On taking the boy back to camp he discovers that he is a real hand full. The boy knocks Robin unconscious, and escapes to reassemble his group in the woods. While unconscious, Robin recalls his encounter with the magician, Olwyn. He was then about the same age as Patrick, and also running for his life in the forest from the men who killed his father, the Earl of Locksley, and sacked their home, leaving Robin a penniless orphan. Olwyn offered Robin refuge, and told him he was the chosen one. Friar Tuck convinces Patrick to give all his booty to Robin's cause.
Witches of the Abbey
Three beautiful, evil witches take Little John captive, and make him their slave. Robin's band cannot breech the catacombs of the abbey where the witches have taken him, because of the powerful magic they practise. Robin uses a magic potion from Friar Tuck to fake his own death, knowing that his evil Aunt Alice, the Abbess, will entomb him in the family crypt inside the abbey. He thus gains entry to rescue Little John and vanquish the witches.
