After a few earlier 'son of Robin Hood' films, this 1958 installment bit the bullet and took the title for real! The film sees the tyrannical Duke Simon de Roche imprison the regent Earl of Chester before the coronation of the "boy prince" (presumably Henry the Third!). The Earl manages to tip off the old guard of Sherwood Forest, but with Robin Hood long dead, they fear the people won't rally to their cry. When they hear Robin had a child, they dispatch him to England to lead their cause - only it isn't a son of Robin Hood, but a daughter, Deering Hood!
