Plot

Robin Hood is a seedy crook. He and his accomplice Tuck rob the poor, women, the elderly, the blind, and the disabled. The rest? Too risky. But even the bad guys have dreams and theirs is to buy the most popular brothel in the city, the Pussycat. Robin, who stops at nothing when it comes to getting rich, then decides to get the money to realize this dream by robbing the Nottingham tax office. But his meeting with a Sherwood gang of vigilantes, who rob the rich to give to the poor, will thwart his plans. Little John, Marianne and their friends have in fact had exactly the same idea as him to rob the Sheriff of Nottingham. The – true – story of Robin Hood can finally begin!^[1]
