Synopsis for "Attack of the Sea Raiders!"

Robin Hood is pictured as a prisoner on a viking ship. He ponders the circumstances that resulted in his present situation as he rows the ship towards the coast of England. He recalls how Sir Gregory had summoned him in the forest to ask Robin to help defend their homeland against the invading Viking hordes. Sir Gregory goes on to mention that Prince John requires Robin's help while he himself goes off to the crusades in search of King Richard. Robin readily accepts the task when he suddenly receives word that a Viking ship has attacked a nearby village. Robin and his men immediately respond and attack the ship but they soon find that they have fallen for a trap and they become prisoners of the Vikings. The Vikings prove to be formidable foes but Robin gets the idea to challenge their leader Toke to a sword duel. The two men fight each other aboard the ship but Robin feigns defeat and falls overboard supposedly to his death. In reality he swims back to shore to warn Prince John of the approaching Viking raiders. John takes the news in an aloof manner and announces he will do nothing to stop the invading hordes. He secretly hopes that the people will curse his brother Richard and then he will take action to appear as if he were the hero. In the meantime, Robin springs into action to round up his men from the forest. He attacks the approaching Viking ship with a hail of arrows from the sky and the Vikings find themselves helpless against such an attack. They also trap the Viking ships on the river by erecting a chain from bank to bank to entrap the ships from escaping. The Vikings then disembark into the forest and run into Robin and his men. After a brief fight, the Vikings find that they are no match for Robin and his men now that they are out of their element. Their leader Toke quickly surrenders. With the Vikings defeated, peace returns to Sherwood forest.
