The film features Daffy Duck in the role of legendary outlaw Robin Hood, and opens to the strains of his playing a song on an instrument similar to an archlute or bouzouki. As he prances along singing, he trips and tumbles down a hill (still singing), off a bank and into a river. Having given up trying to impress the friar, Daffy attempts to leave, but Porky follows and asks the "traveling clown" if he knows the whereabouts of Robin Hood's hideout as he "wouldst fain join up with his band of jolly outlaws". Daffy proudly announces that he is Robin Hood, but Porky disbelieves him.
