When Prince John and the Norman Lords begin oppressing the Saxon masses in King Richard's absence, a Saxon lord fights back as the outlaw leader of a rebel guerrilla army.
Sir Robin of Locksley, defender of downtrodden Saxons, runs afoul of Norman authority and is forced to turn outlaw. With his band of Merry Men, he robs from the rich, gives to the poor and still has time to woo the lovely Maid Marian, and foil the cruel Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and keep the nefarious Prince John off the throne.

Maid Marion is never referred to by that name in this film. She is referred to as "Lady Marion Fitzwalter" twice, once in the banquet scene and the second time by Sir Guy just before she hands the Golden Arrow to Robin Hood.

Continuity:
Just before Will Scarlet finds Much the Miller's Son after he has killed the King's would-be assassin, there was supposed to be a scene where King Richard engages in a sporting test of strength with Friar Tuck. This part of the scene was deleted, with the result that in the finished film, a close-up of Friar Tuck, aghast that he struck his king, is stripped of its context.
