Synopsis
The Earl of Huntingdon accompanies King Richard on a crusade but returns to England when he learns of Prince John's efforts to secure the throne for himself. Under the name of Robin Hood he leads a group of men who "take from the rich; give to the poor." He rescues Lady Marian from Prince John's prison but is himself captured. The timely reappearance of King Richard returns Robin Hood to Lady Marian and foils the efforts of Prince John.

Trivia
The castle is reputed to be the largest Hollywood set built for any silent movie. Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright's son, designed at least one set which he later remodeled as a temporary band shell for the Hollywood Bowl.
