Synopsis

In this amended version of Robin Hood, Robin and Marianne (in English Maid Marian) spend just one night together and it results in a child born. The young man, now 16, falls in love with the daughter of Shérif de Nottingham (in English Sheriff of Nottingham, the avowed enemy of Robin). The sheriff having lost Marianne to the "prince of thieves", decides to avenge by imprisoning Robin's son. So Robin launches a rescue operation with the help of his followers and notably Petit Jean (in English Little John) and Frère Tuck (in English Friar Tuck) played by Nyco Lilliu.
