After escaping imprisonment in Jerusalem during the Crusades, a nobleman returns to England, a country now under the oppressive rule of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Discovering his father murdered and his lands seized, he vows revenge and begins a daring rebellion against the corrupt leadership. Hidden in Sherwood Forest with a band of marauders, he becomes a legendary figure, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. His heroic deeds earn him the enmity of the sheriff, who is determined to capture him by any means necessary.

Alongside his loyal companions, a skilled swordsman and a wise Moor he befriended during his escape, he works to thwart the sheriff’s plans while winning the heart of a noblewoman, who is also the cousin of the malevolent ruler. Their budding romance is portrayed against the backdrop of his efforts to unite the disillusioned populace against tyranny. The struggle for justice is fraught with peril, as his adversaries are numerous and his allies are outcasts of society. Yet, his resolve to restore fairness and to protect those who cannot defend themselves galvanizes a movement that seeks to change the fate of the land.
