Having portrayed Robin Hood on TV for five years, Richard Greene reprises the role in Hammer Films' SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST. This time, Robin does a little undercover work to determine the wicked machinations of the Sheriff of Nottingham (played by Hammer stalwart Peter Cushing). Our Hero and the Merrie Men do their best to foil a plot to kill the Archbishop of Canterbury (Jack Gwillim). (official distributor synopsis)
