Plot

Robin Hood, or Robin Of Loxley (Cary Elwes), is captured during the Crusades and is imprisoned at Khalil Prison in Jerusalem. With the help of fellow inmate Asneeze, (Isaac Hayes),who is in for Jaywalking, he escapes from the prison, and frees all the other inmates. He is asked by Asneeze to find his son, Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle, in his acting debut).

When he arrives home in England, he finds Ahchoo and discovers that Prince John (Richard Lewis, whose girlfriend was played by a then-unknown Chase Masterson) has assumed control over England while King Richard (Patrick Stewart) is away fighting in the Crusades. Unbeknownst to Richard, John is abusing his power. Robin Hood meets up with his family’s blind servant, Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), the large and ignorant Little John (Eric Allan Kramer), and his friend Will Scarlet O’Hara (Matthew Porretta), whom he recruits to help him regain his father’s land and oust Prince John from the throne. On his quest, Robin also attracts the attention of the lovely Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), who wants to find the man who has the key to her heart (and chastity belt).
