Marian brings Roland the Minstrel, exiled from London for derogatory songs about Prince John, to Sherwood. Prince John and the Ambassador of Aragon are to sign a treaty, so the Sheriff locks up all strangers including the minstrel in order to avert any show of disrespect for authority in the area. Robin decides to use Roland's song about the Sheriff to his advantage, and soon all Nottingham is singing it. Robin rescues Roland and Friar Tuck organises the children to sing for the Ambassador.
