Plot
Hearing the news that Robin Hood has been captured, and is sure to hang, Jerry and Nibbles decide to go and free Robin, who is in imprisoned in a castle with Tom as guard. They break into the prison and find the cell where "poor old Robin is locked up tight, 'e is", but first they have to get past Tom.

Jerry and Nibbles escape the cellar, and Nibbles is able to get the key for Robin Hood's cell by abseiling from a piece of string, into Tom's mouth, whilst Tom is asleep. However, the string breaks, and Tom swallows Nibbles, waking him up in the process. Hiccuping, Tom drinks down a great deal of red wine, and then he goes back to sleep.
Tuffy emerges from Tom's mouth, clearly drunk. He almost escapes, but the prongs of the key get caught on Tom's mouth and he wakes up again. Tom closes his mouth, trapping Nibbles. "Blimey! 'E locked me in, 'e did!". Nibbles breaks through Tom's teeth, using the key as a battering-ram.
Jerry helps Nibbles escape Tom, and together they give the key to Robin Hood. However, Tom raises the alarm. A silhouette of Robin Hood is seen diving into the moat around the castle and he escapes, with arrows flying all around him. Jerry and Nibbles celebrate Robin's freedom, but Jerry's nappy gets caught on a flying arrow and he is sent into a nearby tree.
The cartoon ends with a still-inebriated Jerry carousing, whilst being carried on the arrow-shaft by Nibbles: "We swiped the blinkin' key, then Robin Hood went freeeee.... And it was you and me who done it! Oops!"
