The Challenge of the Grim Jester!
Storyline
Prince John mockingly proclaims a "Champion Day" for a tournament. Robin Hood and his Merrie Men arrive, immune from capture for the event. But John sics a cruel jester on RH. He's given a giant bow to shoot, but cannot. He must quarter-staff duel a dwarf-acrobat, and loses. Even a target is a cheat as a man inside moves it. Robin's challenged to fight a knight ahorse without quitting a handkerchief, and finally wins. But the jester drops the gate bar. Can Robin crack that? Yes, by mounting a horse and shooting the giant bow! Robin is Champion!
