Sir Gyles (John Longden) kills the king's commissioner (Hal Osmond), a man still loyal to King Richard, and while not even the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Wheatley) approved of the murder, which happened in his castle no less, he too knew that the man had to be dealt with as the Sheriff has been cheating the crown out of a considerable sum of money. But the really mean part of the story is that Sir Gyles puts the blame of the murder on Maid Marian (Bernadette O'Farrell), who actually tried to protect the Commissioner - and the evidence against Marian seems to be overwhelming, so much so that she is condemned to death. But she demands trial by battle, meaning a hero has to fight it out for her innocence with Sir Gyles. Of course she has set her hopes on Robin hood's (Richard Greene) assistance, but he has been injured in a previous fight with Sir Gyles and will not be able to perform - and none of the noblemen of all England seems to be willing or able to help her ... and thus in the end, Robin - in disguise - shows up to help her after all, and despite his injury he fights and defeats Sir Gyles, even if he almost dies himself doing so ...

 

Mediocre episode that seriuosly lacks the suspense the story would have demanded, and while the whole build-up suggests a surprise ending, in the end it ends just like every other episode, with Robin saving the day ...
