Robin Hood's men are gathered in the forest full of doom and gloom. He has been captured, imprisoned and is for the drop, for sure - unless "Jerry" and his new nappy-clad pal can spring him from under the watchful eye of the alert "Tom" - complete with halberd and an helmet he can put to reverberating use! The usual to-and-fro antics now ensue as the two mice attempt to secure the key to the cell, and release their leader - more difficult now that it is deep in the wine-swirled belly of the cat! Can they retrieve it and help Robin escape? I did quite enjoy this but the little add-on mouse did annoy a bit - what accent was he supposed to have? A bloomin' Londoner singing "Bonne Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond"? Methinks not, but it's still an enjoyable mediaeval romp with everyone living to fight another day.
