There are some unique ideas, such as the whistling arrows the outlaws shoot over the forest trees to send signals to each other. The story is lively and good-natured and very much in the tradition of Disney entertainment. When King Richard is held for ransom in Austria, Maid Marian (Joan Rice) prevails upon the outlaws to help and they find an ingenious way to get Prince John and the sheriff to donate their tax collections to the ransom fund. As Robin's popularity grows, the prince is more and more determined to capture and execute him. Robin starts up his little band of outlaws to undo some of the sheriff's atrocities. In no time, the Prince has hired a villainous sheriff (Peter Finch, a two-time Disney lead best known today for his rants in Network and subsequent posthumous Oscar win) and is taxing the subjects into poverty.

The movie follows the familiar story of King Richard going off to fight in the crusades and leaving the Kingdom to be ruled by his greedy nefarious brother Prince John (Hubert Gregg). Disney's interpretation, while similar in style and tone to Warner Brothers' 1938 Errol Flynn classic, is still a fresh and entertaining take on the legend, though no one would deny that the Flynn version is superior. This version of the Robin Hood story stars Richard Todd as the dashing hero Disney would use him in two later swashbucklers filmed in England – The Sword and the Rose (1953) and Rob Roy the Highland Rogue (1954). The Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men, released in 1952, was the second project, the first being 1950's Treasure Island.
