- English ships are being rammed and sunk by a castle-like ship of "The King of the Sea", a secret ally of Prince John. Robin Hood sails with his Merrie Men in pursuit and secretly boards, but is captured and made a galley slave. He breaks free, bolts the door, and orders the slaves to row - so the ship is beached. Rescued by his Merrie Men, they dump "The King of the Sea" on Prince John's doorstep!
