England 1201 in the reign of King John and someone is looking for the truth about Robin Hood. Scribe Alan-a-Dale ventures into Sherwood Forest. As a storyteller he knows one man's laments are another's inspiration. Caught in a storm he finds Little John and Will Scarlet in their shelter. Seeking refuge he joins them and finds that John is eager to tell a tale, just not the one that Alan was bargaining for. Entertaining in the Great Hall of Nottingham castle, Alan-a-Dale and his songs and stories bring warmth to a cold castle night. Stories of passion and adventure that give the Lord High Sheriff, Phillip De Nicholay, cause to reflect, and share a secret with Alan.
