The Deputy Sheriff informs Marian that her father has died in the Holy Land and Prince John has nominated Sir Guy Quentin to take over her estate. Friar Tuck informs Marian her father is alive and she can appeal to the courts. Marian's sixty-year-old uncle Sir Percy pre-empts this by challenging the much younger Sir Quentin to a duel. Robin has other ideas, and tries to convince Sir Quentin that Sir Percy is a fearsome fighter.
