A collection of traditional ballad episodes follows an outlaw leader and his band living in the royal forest as they defy corrupt officials and aid the poor. Episodes range from archery contests and bold rescues to disguised encounters with clergy and nobles, weddings arranged by the outlaw band, and clashes with the sheriff and the king.
