Es war kalt geworden im Sherwood Wald. Robin und seine Gefährten sehnen den Frühling herbei. Aber der eisige Wind aus dem Norden lässt keine Hoffnung aufkommen. Lady Miriam und ihre Magd Thelma leben mit den Getreuen im Lager. Prinz John, der erbarmungslose Despot hat nach Robins Burg auch jene von Miriams Vater niederbrennen lassen. Die Menschen sehnen König Richards Wiederkehr herbei, aber haben kaum noch Hoffnung, denn der sitzt immer noch im Kerker im fernen Österreich und sein nichtswürdiger Bruder hat das Land mit einem Leichentuch überzogen.
