- The plague has come to Nottingham and both Robin's and the Sheriff of Nottingham's men are stuck together in quarantine in the throne room of the palace until the disease runs its course. What will kill them first-the plague or each other?
- King Richard needs his royal seal, and Prince John agrees to send him....a sea lion instead. So it's up to the Merry Men to get the actual seal to the Crusades. Robin and company sneak into the castle, unfortunately right in the middle of a royal banquet. A fight naturally breaks out, until Bertram is struck down by the plague, which he contracted while collecting taxes in the northern provinces. Robin declares a quarantine; no one can leave the throne room for twenty-four hours until the plague's incubation period is passed. Both Merry Men and soldiers begin dropping like flies. Eventually everyone in the throne room falls prey to the plague, leaving only Robin, Marian, and the Sheriff still standing. When the Sheriff sits down to dinner, Robin realizes it's not the plague, it's food poisoning from contaminated ox. Once the Merry Men recover, they are off to deliver the royal seal to King Richard.—whatsitsgalore
- King Richard needs his royal seal on the battlefield, and Prince John agrees to send him....a sea lion instead. So it's up to the Merry Men to get the actual seal to the Crusades. Robin and company sneak into the castle, unfortunately right in the middle of a royal banquet. A fight naturally breaks out, until Bertram is struck down by the plague, which he contracted while collecting taxes in the northern provinces. Robin declares a quarantine; no one can leave the throne room for twenty-four hours until the plague's incubation period is passed. Both Merry Men and soldiers begin dropping like flies. Marian tends to the sick, Friar Tuck hears confessions, Little John makes peace with Renaldo. While Robin and Marian lament the fact that they can't be together, the Sheriff declares his love for Marian. But eventually everyone in the throne room falls prey to the plague, leaving only Robin, Marian, and the Sheriff still standing. The Sheriff and Robin decide to battle it out, but Marian stops the duel by threatening them both with a custard pie, forcing the combatants to drop their swords. Robin and the Sheriff sit down to dinner, and the outlaw realizes that there is no plague at all--the inhabitants of the castle merely ate contaminated ox and are suffering from food poisoning. Only those who did not eat the ox are unaffected. Too bad for the Sheriff, he has just tasted his first ox of the night and is helpless to stop Robin from ting up all the soldiers. Once the Merry Men recover, they are off to deliver the royal seal to King Richard.
