Synopsis

Sherwood Forest is in danger of being destroyed and it's up to Robin and his band of dimwitted Merry Men to save the day.

When the Sheriff challenges them to a contest to determine the forest‘s rightful owner, their skills are put to the test.

Unfortunately, archery is only the first round.

Robin and his men will also have to win a talent show and a beauty pageant.

Will this be the end of Sherwood?

Most likely.
