Der er gået 18 år siden Robin Hood havde sin gang i Sherwoodskoven - tog fra de rige og gav til de fattige. De seneste fem år har han været på korstog med Richard Løvehjerte. Hjemme venter hans datter Gwyn, en sej og energisk ung pige, som har flugt i faderens fodspor. For hende er hver dag et eventyr og alle skurke bliver omhyggeligt udplyndret. Snart bliver hendes liv i midlertidig sværere. Hun skal ikke bare hjælp Richard Løvehjertes søn Philip med at blive Englands nye konge. Hun må også redde sin far, da han smides i fængsel af den skumle sherif af Nottingham.

Robin of Sherwood was a British television series, based on the legend of Robin Hood. Created by Richard Carpenter, it was produced by HTV in association with Goldcrest, and ran from 1984 to 1986 on the ITV network. In America it was retitled Robin Hood and shown on the premium cable TV channel Showtime and on PBS. The show starred Michael Praed and Jason Connery as two different incarnations of the title character. Unlike previous adaptations of the Robin Hood legend, Robin of Sherwood combined a gritty, authentic production design with elements of real-life history, 20th century fiction, and pagan myth. The series is also notable for its haunting title music by Clannad, which won a BAFTA award.
