Robin Hood serves as the central figure in this animated anthology adaptation, originating from a Japanese children's program and later dubbed into English. His story unfolds as a serialized narrative spanning multiple episodes. Depicted as Robert Huntington, heir to the noble Huntington family, Robin's life shatters when Baron Alwine, ruler of Nottingham, orders his family castle destroyed. Fleeing persecution, Robin escapes into Sherwood Forest with his cousins Will Scarlet, Winifred, and Jenny. In hiding, they cross paths with bandits led by a figure initially named Big John. After a confrontation where Robin humorously renames him "Little John" for playing with a cat, the bandits become allies. Together, they form a resistance against Baron Alwine's oppressive taxation and forced labor. Robin's core motivations drive him to protect Nottingham's oppressed citizens and thwart the schemes of Alwine and his associates. A key plot sees him working to prevent the greedy Bishop Hertford from manipulating his childhood friend and love interest, Marian Lancaster. Marian is targeted due to her family's wealth and status as a descendant of the Lancaster noble line, symbolized by a golden cross she wears. Robin's leadership unites outlaws and villagers in opposing these threats through strategic confrontations and rescues. His relationship with Marian evolves significantly throughout their shared adversity. Initially separated by circumstance, their bond deepens. Marian undergoes notable development, transitioning from a potential victim of political manipulation to an active participant in the resistance. Robin's interactions with allies like Little John, Friar Tuck, and the reformed bandits showcase his ability to inspire loyalty and forge alliances across social divides. Antagonists include the knight Gilbert, who initially serves Alwine but later defects after a near-fatal encounter with Robin, and Gilbert's sister Cleo, who pursues revenge against Robin under false pretenses before learning the truth. Baron Alwine experiences brief moments hinting at potential redemption following Robin's interventions but ultimately reverts to tyranny upon discovering a plot to usurp the throne from King Richard. Robin, aided by allies including a reformed Bishop Hertford, exposes and foils this conspiracy, securing King Richard's restoration and the antagonists' defeat.
