- Ambushed, Robin is conked on the head and convinced he's Prince John's Captain of the Guards! He accosts Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck, arresting them. Yet his head is still muzzy and he feels sad. The Merrie Men believe he's a traitor, and knock him against a wall - conking his head again and restoring his memory. Robin arranges for the prisoners to be shackled to a well-wheel outside the dungeon, then frees them, even dares them to kill him if they suspect he's a traitor. Convinced, the four fight free and reunite in Sherwood Forest.
