- Daffy attempts to convince Porky, as Friar Tuck, that he really is Robin Hood.
- Daffy play Robin Hood who is so intent that he is the real Mccoy to Friar Tuck (Porky) that he ends up convincing everyone, including himself, that he is not.—Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>
- The film is set in Medieval England, with Daffy Duck cast in the role of outlaw Robin Hood. The film opens to "Robin" playing a tanbur or lute, and singing. He attempts to dance to his own tune, but misses his step and falls into a nearby river.
"Robin" hears Friar Tuck (played by Porky Pig) laughing at him. This member of the mendicant orders finds "Robin" to be hilarious. "Robin" is annoyed, and decides to impress the Friar by demonstrating his skills with a quarterstaff. In his initial demonstration, "Robin" manages to hit his own face with the quarterstaff. Next "Robin" tries to attack the Friar with the quarterstaff, but the Friar easily spins him around and sends him back into the river's waters. The duo jointly laugh at the funny event, but "Robin" soon gets the impression that the Friar is taunting him.
An insulted "Robin" tries to leave, but the Friar stops him. The Friar explains that he is searching for Robin Hood and his outlaws, because he wants to join them. He has mistaken "Robin" for a clown, and asks him for instructions on how to find Robin. "Robin" explains who he is, but the Friar does not believe him. "Robin" wants to demonstrate his outlaw skills and real identity, by robbing a wealthy traveler who crosses this area with his mule.
Under the Friar's observing eyes, "Robin" repeatedly tries to ambush the traveler. He fails every time, repeatedly injures himself, and demonstrates his ineptness at archery. The traveler eventually reaches his castle unharmed, having never even noticed "Robin"'s failed attempts at an ambush.
The Friar concludes that "Robin" can not be the real Robin Hood. The frustrated "Robin" decides to give up the outlaw life, and become a friar himself. "Robin" changes his regular clothes for a friar's religious habit, shaves the feathers on his head in a typical tonsure-style, and shakes hands with his new colleague. The film ends.
