In "Robin Hood - New Sheriff of Nottingham!", Prince John appoints Robin the new Sheriff of Nottingham, and he accepts the role to safeguard the people. With his Merry Men sent to France with Marion, Robin faces a relentless campaign of disguised thugs, armored knights, and ambushes—using wit and skill to survive, even escaping quicksand by lashing a waterwheel. When captives reveal his men are imprisoned, Robin outsmarts his enemies by dressing farmers as his own force, freeing his companions, and ultimately resigning from the post he never truly wanted.
In "The Amazing Arrow!", Robin Hood must survive three perilous trials—facing a wild bull, escaping an assassin while trapped in a net, and braving a treacherous waterfall—armed with only a single arrow. With cunning and courage, he pushes his skill to the limit, ultimately using a second arrow, cleverly crafted from the first, to free a hostage from a treetop trap.
