Robin Hood is now the elder statesmen of the Merry Men in Sherwood Forest. However, a new tyrant has thrown away the Magna Carta and threatens the freedom of the people. Robin Hood calls together the old gang, including Little John and Friar Tuck, and a new character, none other than Robert Hood, his son, played by Cornel Wilde. The boy King is kidnapped, the Queen and Lady Catherine seek protection from Robin in the forest. Robert leads an effort to rescue the boy from death in the castle keep. It all takes place in vivid Technicolor, on the Columbia back lot with mattes dotting the landscape. In other words, just perfect for a Saturday afternoon matinee.
