Robin of Locksley returns home from defending King and country in the Holy Land, to find a corrupt and changed Nottingham. The ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham is now in charge, crippling the poor with greedy taxes and severely punishing them for stealing even a loaf of bread. The ever-gallant Robin and his faithful, if slightly unenthusiastic, manservant Much are determined to fight for the good of these hapless people. Aided by a gang of talented outlaws including Will Scarlett, the ingenious engineer who can construct anything from any material, just as long as it's wood; Little John, the man mountain who can destroy all in his path; and, as the series progresses, Jack, master of trickery and disguise - so much so that at first you don't realize she is in fact a woman.
