Planets once stable in their orbits are being ripped apart by cosmic forces of unknown origin.
Resistance leaders to the
Even patrol ships from the famed space guards are ripped apart and destroyed.
Ah, Gandalf! The universe explodes before our very eyes. What is happening?
I don't know, Adam. All of our scientists are working day and night to find the answer to this riddle.
But not one has come up with an answer that sufficiently explains this phenomenon.
Are we then doomed?
It looks that way. After millions of years of civilization, we shall become dust unless someone or something can save us.
What are you doing, Gandalf?
I'm sending an intergalactic distress signal to anyone who might listen and come to help.
But I'm afraid it's no use. We are doomed.
What is it, Robin?
I'm not quite sure, Will, but it sounds like some sort of distress signal.
Where is it coming from?
The cosmic receivers indicate it's coming from outer space quadrant 5, sector 17.
And unless I'm badly mistaken, those solar explosions took place in the same area.
Oh, brother, here we go again. That's the sector where we ran into our friend Infanata a few months back.
Yeah, something smells as fishy as a Venusian jungle squid.
I think Will and I better go take a look, little John.
You wait here till the sensors show our ship entering the area, then track us on your radar and follow.
Aye, aye, sir. And be careful.
Sweet Saturn, Robin. I'm not anxious to meet up with Infanata and his spooks again.
Neither am I, Will. I'm overdue for a nice long vacation myself, just orbiting and counting stars.
And why don't we?
Because, my friend, duty calls. If we don't find out what's going on there, whatever it is, we'll probably find us sooner or later.
Oh, well, sometimes I wonder why I didn't take up free-fall farming.
There it is, Sheriff. My Saturn's shadow, my sheer brilliance has done it again.
I've finally got what it, Robin, where I want him, and soon.
What do you mean, Prince? Don't you remind me. Don't answer.
Now listen, I'm sending my plutonium missiles into Infanata's home area where they're exploding like novas.
All that beautiful havoc and destruction, and our friend Rocket Robin will have to investigate.
The last thing that blasted meddler will ever investigate.
I don't understand, Prince.
Yes, you have the boeing of a Martian, Mudhopper.
Once Rocket Robin gets there, he'll invariably fall into the claws of that madman, Infanata, and his, uh, hee-hee, eager companions.
Rocket Robin is in for quite a surprise. It should be interesting.
Perhaps we should observe a moment of silence. Our friend won't be with us much longer.
As Prince John's warped head finally come up with a foolproof plan, is our hero Rocket Robin Hood racing through the reaches of space only to meet his doom somewhere among the lonely stars?
The countdown started, trouble croons, but now's no fear, we cannot lose with Rocket Robin Hood.
...flare set off by the plutonium missiles of Prince John. Lured by the mighty explosions, Rocket Robin Hood wings toward the disaster area, the domain of Infanata, who surely will trap and destroy Robin just as Prince John planned.
The controls are going crazy!
Little John, we're going beyond the speed of light! Impossible, but it's happening!
We're breaking up!
Get the last reading from the computer!
But why?
Just do it, mister!
Again the mortal Robin Hood comes. Again he and his merry men invade my sacred privacy.
Have they no fear of the dark forces I command? I will teach them to trifle with me.
Let them tremble in fear, for I have released my beetles!
Look, Robin, what's that?
Pull up, Will!
I can't!
You won't butch! The controls are paralyzed!
They're closing in on us!
Looks bad, Robin. Any ideas?
If my hunch is right, these beetles are robots!
Here's my plan!
You'd better give it to me fast! Look!
What's this?
What are they doing?
They dare defile my robot instincts!
Remote and manual. That's simple enough. Think I'll take over for a while.
All set, Will?
Here they come!
Interesting contest, why'd it last? What now?
The sonic impulses that operated those things were coming from that castle. That's where our man is.
Let's go get him.
I'm sure he's got some more surprises in store for us, so be ready for anything.
So, they have triumphed. Over my little metal pets, have they?
They must be taught a lesson. I will loose my stone elephants against them.
After whose granite feet they will be crushed to dust.
Uh-oh, here comes one of those surprises I was telling you about.
Let's get out of here!
I'm with you! Come on!
I hope you have an idea, I'm fresh out!
Looks like we've had it. No place to go but down.
Rocket Robin Hood finally fought one villain too many.
Oh, danger looms through outer space. The villain stands up, face to face, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John, the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules, the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
Mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come, Little John.
The victims of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking. Then it's time for the one and only Friar Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Knot, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it. Friar Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood.
In the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has the scowl to soon be on the run. Our systems now are very okay, the battle shall be won. So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Trying to find the cause of the mysterious solar explosions, Rocket Robin Hood and the merry men have crashed through the light barrier and entered the domain of Infinata.
Here in the realm of the strange shadow creature, they have been set upon by Infinata's charging stone elephant.
All's quiet in the castle. He probably thinks we're at the bottom of the gorge.
By the gods of doom they have escaped once more. Enough play. I will bring them here at once.
I hope they're all right.
Will, you guard the ship. Little John and I will see if we can dig up Infinata.
What's happening, Robin?
I don't know, Little John, but I have a strong hunch who's behind it.
Robin Hood, know that you are not welcome. Why have you come to my shadowed world?
Don't play games with me, Nightmare. You know exactly why we're here.
Enough of this. I will not lower myself by arguing with you. I will squeeze the truth out of you.
Have you had enough, mortal? Tell me your business or I will crush the life out of you here and now.
I have come to stop you from destroying any more planets. Any way we can. Destroying planets?
You brainless mortals are so tedious. You travel 76 light years in your foolish puny ship to my realm.
You challenge my power. For what? I have not called your miserable planets to explode.
This is a lie, Robin.
I don't think so, Little John. He's too proud a creature to lie. If he blew up those planets, he'd be the first to tell us.
But if he didn't do it, Robin, who did?
You are curious, eh, mortal? Perhaps I will tell you.
You know? And you didn't prevent it? Planets wreck? Why you...
Enough of this. Go home, Robin Hood. I am growing bored.
Not until I find out who caused those explosions.
You are persistent, an irritant that must be removed. I will show you the one you are seeking.
My Jupiter? It's Prince John.
John, I will give you a chance to live. One chance. A rocket you ride as Prince John.
If you could disarm it before it explodes on Sherwood Asteroid, and Little John and Will can find you with the ship I put them in, then you will live.
If not... If not...
Keep an eye on it, Little John.
Robin, come in. Can you hear me?
Here I am, safe and sound, sitting on top of enough oxygen to blow up half the galaxy. What's new with you?
In fact, I think we're picking you up now.
Ah, there you are.
Well, tell me, what did you have in mind hitching a ride on that missile?
I thought it might be a good idea to try to disarm it before it goes off.
That's a pretty tricky business. Those things are delicate. The slightest touch in the wrong place and boom!
If so, we'll never know it.
How are you doing?
It's coming, but slowly. I hope I've got enough time.
Take it easy now.
It's disarmed, but there's still enough powder in there to destroy one villain's castle.
Well, we'll never know.
Now, what exactly is...
We're dead!
Shut your mouth, you blithering space squid.
We're not dead, but my missile factory is completely destroyed, completely ruined.
There's got to be repair again.
I wonder how Prince John likes your present, Robin.
I don't know, Will, but I'd like one day to give Infanata a similar present.
Not similar, Robin, a larger one.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky, so raise your voices, raise them high, for Lockett, Lockett, and Wood.
Our genemy of Lockett-Robin-Wood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John,
despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Knot, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day
when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
And well he might, if it were not for Lockett-Robin-Wood.
Lockett-Robin-Wood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin Dickerson.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Robin-Robin-Wood.
And the brothers shoulder to shoulder, the stared if I have somewhere any holder,
sound the horn in every astral plan, we're running round on every man we stand with, Robin to the end.
The joys of freedom to defend, is the place to be by the side of the free with Rockett-Robin-Wood.
Coming up next, it's Adventure in Space with the Star Blazers, next on TGI 61.
Music
We're off to outer space, we're leaving Mother Earth to save the human race, our Star Blazers.
We'll try to help a desperate fight, make Star Star Cross reunite, as we rush to meet our fate, the Comet Empire awaits.
If Zordar's plot should work, he'll destroy the universe. We'll fight the Comet Empire, battle through the raging fire, filled with the hope that Earth will survive, to keep peace alive with our Star Blazers.
Weekdays at 3 on TGI.
Come gather around me, space travelers, surround me hard now, to the planet of Rockett-Robin-Wood. I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you, with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our Rockets race here from afar, for now we'll arrive and we live on a star.
And our brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring office rise, beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the side of Robin's ticker stand, with the gallant fear of our man.
Sing the joyous shout to mark the land for Rockets, Rockets One!
We come from near a distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, to rally round Rockett-Robin-Wood, brave for man has never been born.
So we stand in fort against the foe, our band of brothers skyward hope, with Rockett-Robin-Wood, with Rockett-Robin-Wood.
A tragic report from Rockett-Robin-Wood's close friend, Sir Godfrey Humble, the famed intergalactic explorer, stuns the entire galaxy.
We are under heavy bombardment. I doubt that we will get through, but this message capsule must...
They're out bigger! Eject at once!
This is Sir Godfrey Humble. The rest of my expedition has been destroyed. I know now that I shall never escape the dark galaxy. You must heed the warning I give you by way of this message capsule. Beware the...
And so the last words of Sir Godfrey Humble, another in the long list of explorers never to be seen again after entering the dark galaxy.
The message capsule arrived at Interplanetary Police headquarters a short time ago partially damaged, so that we may never know what it was that Sir Godfrey was about to warn us against. There is talk of search parties being formed, but no hope is held.
Poor Sir Godfrey. I can't believe he's dead.
I don't believe it either.
What?
He was a pretty tough old man. I wouldn't dispose of him so easily.
I detect something going on in that brain of yours, Robin. Maybe a private search party of our own?
Is it such a bad idea?
Count on me.
Ryre, rev up the atomic engines. We're moving Sherwood to the edge of the galaxy.
Move here, move there. They must be coming driving a bus. All engines ahead, Bull.
According to all available information, Sir Godfrey's expedition entered the dark galaxy at this point.
Well, let's blast off and see if we can pick up his trail.
You're all set. Let's go.
This is like flying in a bowl of ink.
Yeah, so far nothing but...
Wait a minute. There's a planet coming up on the right.
Creepy looking place, isn't it?
Let's put down. If there's any human life on that planet, they might have seen Sir Godfrey.
This is like being dropped in the middle of a flower box.
Let's find the gardener and see if he can tell us anything.
This appears to be the village square. I don't think it's a good idea to barge in there asking questions.
Unfriendly, you think? To put it mildly.
You know what I mean.
Make a run for it, Will. Down the path. Ready when you can.
Hold it. Good grief, some choice we got.
Now what? Will, do the full later bit with your scarlet tunic.
I'll coax these fellas on. Maybe we can get them together.
Morley! Otto! Come on, get it, you ugly!
That's it, boys. Step right up. You're gonna get yours.
Hit it!
It'll take some time to regroup. I think I've overdone it on my end.
Let's get out of here.
Run, Robin! Save yourself!
Get over here!
Come on!
You're gonna learn a lot from this.
Is Will Scarlet to end his life at the bottom of a volcano?
And where is Rocket Robin Hood? Has he deserted his friends?
The countdown started, trouble crews. We'll have no fear, we cannot lose.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
Humboldt, Rocket Robin Hood and Will Scarlet enter the dark galaxy,
only to fall into the hands of a band of savage cavemen,
who throw Will into the mouth of a smoldering volcano,
where he now hangs on for dear life.
Get out of here!
This ought to give them something to do other than chucking those spears around.
Get out of here!
Change!
Got re-humboldt! That same planet must have been his first stop too.
It might also have been his last. He could be at the bottom of the volcano.
No, in the message capsule he was being bombarded with rockets, not spears.
We're on the right track.
Uh-oh, now what?
The fuel gauge is way down!
One of the spears must have punctured the main line.
We'll have to put down for repairs. Keep your eye out for a likely spot.
Watch your teeth, Will. This is going to be a rough one.
That ought to hold it.
This is some place.
There's got to be some form of intelligent life around here,
but so far not a sign of anyone. Let's take a look around.
Hello! Anybody home?
Seems like we've got the place to ourselves.
I think I heard something.
Well, somebody's coming, that's for sure.
I think the sound is coming from...
Will, behind you!
Get back, Will!
They're indestructible!
Get to the other side of the pool!
But what about you?
I'll meet you there.
Move!
That's it, gentlemen. Just a few more.
Go on in, I hear the water's fine.
Come on, Will.
It doesn't look as though they're going to follow us.
No, they probably...
The swings!
I don't believe it!
That was a close one.
It still is. That thing is coming after us.
What?
Give it all you've got, Will. It's gaining on us.
I've got it out of the pool now.
Is this actually happening?
A living Sphinx has swallowed Rocket Robin Hood and Will Scarlet in their spaceship.
Will they ever be heard from again?
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor,
combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
Mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come,
Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking,
then it's time for the one and only Fire Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Knot, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it.
Fire Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite,
is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood
in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has his cow, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are A-OK, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rock, it's roaring by as Robin's men lie up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
During their search of the dark galaxy for Sir Godfrey Humboldt,
Rocket Robin Hood and Will Scarlet barely escape a band of mummies,
only to fall prey to a flying sphinx.
Swallowed by a flying sphinx.
Now who was going to believe that?
This helps explain it some, Will.
Take a look.
Well, it's comforting to know that this thing isn't alive after all.
I wonder where we're going.
Come on up to the observation deck and find out.
These must be the sphinx's eyes.
Quite a view.
Looks like we're coming in for a landing.
We're coming in too fast, we'll crash.
What happened?
That wasn't a planet, it was an artificial dome surrounding a planet.
It opened to let us in.
We're coming in on the planet now.
Doesn't appear to be a very friendly place, does it?
Looks like they're getting ready to make war on the whole universe.
What now, I wonder?
Does that answer your question?
Seize them!
Take them to Caldane off at once!
So, you are the intruders.
Why do you call us intruders?
We've come here in peace.
I've had you under observation since you entered the dark galaxy.
You've come to interfere with my invasion.
We know nothing of any invasion.
We're looking for Sir Godfrey Humboldt.
Looking for Humboldt, are you?
Then you're just in time to join him for his execution.
Rocket Robin Hood!
Well, at least we found Sir Godfrey.
But you've come looking for me.
Then my warning didn't get through.
Not entirely, but I take it it had something to do with this Caldadov's plan to attack our galaxy.
Yes, and even with advanced warning, I don't see how we can be stopped.
An atomic-powered, automatic brain has planned the invasion down to the last detail.
It can't fail, particularly since his army of mummies is practically indestructible.
And how does he control the mummies?
The atomic brain again. He transmits telepathic brain waves,
which keep the poor creatures in a state of suspended animation and subject to the Count's will.
And if the brain were destroyed?
The beast would rebel, of course, but how?
Ah, that's the second problem. Our first problem is getting out of here.
Mind if I toss in another problem?
What's that?
This room is getting smaller.
We'll have to move fast.
We've got to make an exit.
Hang on to the two of us, Sir Godfrey. You take that wall, Will.
This Caldadov is definitely not a nice man.
Now, Sir Godfrey, where is this atomic brain?
That building over there, the one that looks like an observatory.
Will, you and Sir Godfrey get back to that sphinx that brought us here and try to figure out how to operate it.
We'll probably have to make a fast getaway.
Check.
Alert! Alert! Prisoners have escaped. Search and destroy prisoners.
You fellas are doing a much better job destroying this thing than I could, so I might as well leave.
Come on, there. Get a move on.
Hey, what?
It's back!
What is this? What are you doing? Stop! Stop at once! I command you!
What? Stop! Put me down!
I think we put a stop to Count Adolf's invasion.
Now, get this thing out of here before those walking bandits turn on us.
Ready, Sir Godfrey. I've got my fingers crossed. If there's a defeat, let's go.
Hang on. We're coming to the dome.
So much for that. And for home, Will.
Yes. I'm most anxious to make my report to the scientific society.
I have a report of my own to make.
What's that?
I've been gobbled up by a dinosaur.
Thrown into a volcano. Attacked by mummies. And swallowed by a flying sphinx.
Conclusion? The Dark Galaxy is not a fun place.
Our enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John.
Death's got ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Knott, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day.
When he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well, he might. If it were not for Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together.
Heads held high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise.
Beyond the earth, beyond the sky, at the sight of Robin Danger's stand.
With the gallant leader of our band.
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder.
None dare defy us, none were any colder.
Sound the horn in every astral plane.
To early ground, on their event, we stand with Robin to the end.
The joys of freedom to demand.
Here's the place we live on the side of the free with Rocket Robin Hood.
Gather around me, space travelers surround me.
Hark now to the battle of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, stulmound you.
With heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar.
For now with our Robin we live on a star.
One, two, three, blast off.
Band of brothers marching together.
Heads held high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise.
Beyond the earth, beyond the sky, at the sight of Robin Danger's stand.
With the gallant leader of our band.
Send your joyous shout to heart of the land for Rockin' Rockin' World.
We come from near and distant stars to the sound of the galaxy of war.
To rally round rocket Robin Hood, braver man has never been born.
So we stand in war against the foe.
Our band of brothers strideward home with Rocket Robin Hood.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
Hearing rumors that the evil Solar Sphinx is operating again,
Rocket Robin Hood, Little John and Will Scarlet go to investigate.
I hope Little John that we'd seen the last of Planet Ny-Lor and Emperor Tut.
But if those space rumors are correct, we're in for an unpleasant reunion.
You mean I've got to see those walking mummy dummies again?
Well, let's hope you see them before they see you.
Hold it, fellows. There's our mummy planet dead ahead.
So they've come back, fools.
They're using some unknown electronic energy.
That attack knocked out our left stabilizing gyro coil.
We'll have to make a crash landing.
My aching back.
Let's get out and look around.
I never thought I'd breathe fresh air again.
Up there! I got avalanche heading this way.
We'll be crushed.
The astral disintegrators are our only chance.
Servants! Servants!
I wish to celebrate. Bring me food and drink.
I have defeated Rocket Robin.
I've waited a long time for this.
They think they can finally destroy my soulless fates.
Well, the reception they just got is only a small part of the party.
I have in store for them.
Shall I go after them, oh master?
Shall I bring them to you?
No, we shall wait.
They will come to us.
Yes, they will come.
Well, this seems like a place to break in.
Season!
Toss them into the black grates in the depths of the Great Pyramid.
Is this the end? So quickly, so unexpectedly?
Robin, Will and Little John opened one door too many?
Crash landing on the mysterious planet of Nylor, Robin, Little John and Will break into the castle of King Tut,
only to be blasted down by the mummies of Nylor.
So here you are, merry men. You are fools.
You tried to destroy me once, but I escaped your foolish prisons
and have rebuilt my soulless fates more deadly than ever.
And it will be my soulless fates that destroy you as you have come to destroy him.
Oh no, not the black pits again.
Do you mean this?
No.
Enough! You escaped my pits once. Unlike you, I never make a mistake twice.
I will give you a spaceship and set you free.
Oh, thanks. But what's it going to cost us?
Your lives, gentlemen, your lives. It will satisfy me to have sport with your death.
I will give you a two-minute start and then I'll send my soulless fates after you.
Hey, Robin, just like a fox hunt.
Yeah, Little John, but where are the foxes?
I don't know if I like that.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Don't they think they can escape from Emperor Tut so easily?
Oh, soulless fates, come to life and destroy them.
Oh, thanks. It's alive.
Hey, he didn't give us two minutes.
We must kill them, destroy them forever.
As the solar sphinx finally won.
Oh, danger looms through outer space. The villain stands up, H to A, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John, the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules, the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.

The villain thinks he has the scowl, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are very okay, the battle shall be won. So watch our rock is roaring high as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Robin, Will, and Little John have been given a ship by King Tut, and were pursued and caught by the solar sphinx.
Rocket Robin Hood will soon be on the run.
I think we'll give this bird some indigestion. Follow me, lads.
Hey Robin, we just can't stay here and get swallowed.
This must be inside the throat.
And that's the end of the spaceship. But fortunately not us. Keep going.
What a gadget! Every mad scientist should have one. All the comforts of a boiler factory.
The next time that Tamron comes past, are you strong enough to rip it loose? Are you kidding?
When I give the signal, shove it into the gears. One, two, three, shove!
Now these levers do what I think they do. I'll return this solar sphinx to its frightful owner.
What's happening? That robot always works smoothly.
Okay men, when I give the word, abandon ship. Now to set this automatic pilot so our flying tiger doesn't change course.
What's happening to my great creation? Okay, bail out.
Oh no, they've ruined my sphinx, my wonderful sphinx. Blast them, they've done it again. They defeated my solar sphinx.
Wait, what is it doing? But that terrible fall destroyed them too. It's out of control. It's diving right down on my castle.
We computed and followed the rays of the explosion and it led us to you. What's going on?
Well, you see sir, there was this mummy. Oh no, no, I mean daddy. Well, this flying sphinx.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky. So raise your voices, raise them high.
Arch enemy of rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories. With the help of the wicked sheriff of Knott, the black prince plans for that terrible day when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.

Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, the daredevil somewhere in a boulder, sound the horn in every astral plan, to rally round our merry men, we stand with Robin through the end.
The joys of freedom to demand is the place to be, one beside of the free with rocket Robin Hood.
And gather around me, space traveler, surround me, heart now to the band of Robin brothers and coo. I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, but that ends in coo.
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise. Beyond the earth, beyond the sky, at the sight of Robin's interesting stand, with the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for rocket Robin Hood.
Robin Hood!
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, to rally round rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born, so we silently forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward hope, with rocket Robin Hood.
With rocket Robin Hood.
Far off in the infinity of outer space, a huge transport soars serenely through the skies. All is routine on the bridge, when suddenly the first mate spots something taking form in the glare of the flaming solar sun.
I, I can't believe it. A pirate ship from thousands of years ago. How? Luke Captain, look at the name on her bow. The flying Dutchman, the famed ghost ship of earthly legend.
Doomed to sail for all eternity with a phantom pirate crew. Yes, a ghost crew commanded by a ghost captain. Then the Geist.
Braver, Mr. Chunk Squid. Aye, Captain Vandegaes, I'll wager we're striking fear into their hearts.
Yes, I'm sure that by this time the fools really believe we're ghosts.
We're not ghosts, we're pirates. Pirates. Pieces of egg.
Why wasn't that bird cooked with all the other chicken? Nobody can catch the bloomin' thing. It's dead set on being a pirate.
Pay no attention to it. Ram the space ship, Mr. Chunk Squid.
Men, remember you're all supposed to be ghosts. Now board her and take her.
We'll take care of those two on the bridge.
Stand back. Stand back or I'll fire.
The immortal weapons are useless. I'm against ghosts.
Over the side. Lock the lights. Shiver your timbers.
No fair. No fair. You'll pay for that, baby.
Now, sir, into your cargo, Captain, or I'll have Mr. Chunk Squid do you in.
Take it. Take everything.
Yee-haw! The day is ours.
And then they loaded the cargo, sailed off into the sun, and disappeared as mysteriously as they first materialized.
But, Admiral Stanley, there's no such thing as ghosts.
We here in the Solar Space Guard realize that, Rocket Robin, but nevertheless, the Flying Dutchman is spreading terror throughout the cosmos.
No spaceship is safe. All weapons are useless. It does seem that they're protected by some sort of supernatural force.
Well, I'm sure that if we get to the bottom of this, we'll find they're just using some newly discovered electronic gadgetry.
Well, whatever it is, we need your help. Will you accept the assignment?
Of course. Go through the details again, sir.
Gladly. The beautiful Princess Leia of the planet Jupiter has sought refuge with us.
She must be transported to Saturn, where she's to have a magnificent royal wedding.
She's certain to be a prize catch for Vandegaist and his ghost crew. She must not be captured.
I'll use a small ship, which will be less easy for Vandegaist to detect.
Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck will go along with me, and I'll have Little John follow us up far behind in a space coup.
You and your merry men are the only ones who can get her through, Rocket Robin.
I'll do my best, Admiral Stanley.
So far, an unadventured trip.
Oh! I'll be blasted out of nowhere!
She's going to ram us!
Captain Vandegaist and his supposed
ghost crew are terrorizing the skies. Robin is called in to protect Princess Leia, but Vandegaist attacks, and his ship, the Flying Dutchman, attempts to run Robin under.
Surrender!
Oh, foolish mortal, you cannot defeat the phantom of the galaxies.
Treat her well, as for the others.
Throw them in the hole, and let them rot for all I care.
Now, Mr. Tungshuit, set sail for Carribean. Get home.
Got to get to him.
That looks like a ghost ship to me, Robin.
No, those men felt too solid for spooks. We've got to follow that ship.
Oh, Robin, how can you follow nothing?
We'll use radar. Radar doesn't believe in the supernatural.
There she is, solid as a rock. Now we'll keep this in range, and follow along far enough behind to avoid detection.
Look, down below. That must be where she's heading.
Oh, but that's Carribean, the ocean asteroid. It's completely covered with water, not a speck of land.
Nobody bothers with Carribean except Vance.
That's where she's bound, though. Look, she's materializing.
Mr. Tungshuit, fire the signal which will bring Spirit Pea to the surface.
Fire away!
But how could an island like that be underwater?
It's protected by some sort of electronic force field, the same way Vandergeist and that Pechong squid are.
Look, see? They've cut it off so that the ship may enter the harbor.
Well, fly the coop around to the far end of the island. It looks deserted there.
We ought to be able to make a landing undetected.
They've turned the force field back on again. Pull her back, little John.
The weather's bad, bro.
Blow me down!
It's Rickety Robbit! A rockety robot! Robbity and rookie!
Help!
Rookies and robots! Robbin and rocket!
Wheel somebody!
Greaky rocket! Rocket! Rabbit!
Rocket Robbin!
Bring him down once and for all, Mr. Tungshuit!
Aye!
Look what they're shooting at us! They must be kidding!
Don't be too sure.
Your space helmet is a diving mask.
And now, take the island down, Mr. Tungshuit!
Aye!
Is your radio working? Hear me?
Yes.
Robbin, look! A giant laser reel!
Blast! The mutant descendants of the Electric Eel!
Will Rocket Robin Hood and Little John be burned to a crisp by this terrible serpent of the depths?
Oh, danger looms throughout our space!
The villain stands up, H to A, with Rocket Robin Hood!
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
The magical lion of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic herculean,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro-Quarter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
The problems of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come, Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking,
then it's time for the one and only Friar Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Nott, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it.
Friar Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite,
is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood,
in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has the scowl, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are A-OK, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Robin and Little John track the invisible Flying Dutchman to the watery asteroid, Caribbean, where it reappears.
The sunken island of Spirit Key is brought to the surface.
Robin and Little John are brought down and attacked by a giant laser eel.
And keep it up much longer Robin.
Spirit Key is submerged again. Try to make it to the edge of the force field.
Watch this.
Quick Little John, quick.
Maybe we can use this fellow to our advantage. Now keep still, give him a good target.
Robin, it burned a hole in the force field.
Just as I hoped.
A fissure in the field, water's pouring in on us.
The dam's broken, the dam's broken. Run for the hills, baby.
Repairing it once.
Oh, somebody fixed it. Anyway, we're inside. Quick John, to the boat. We've got to release Will Scarlet prior touch.
Hard headed ghosts that grow around these parts.
They've got the princess in the fortress.
Well, what are we waiting for?
We've got to get out of here.
Blast my soul. Look what's coming.
Stop or I'll cut you all to pieces.
I'll take care of this poor thing.
Take the princess to the wharf and guard her. That ship is our only way out of here and I've got to find out how the blasted thing works.
Robin Rocketwood, you're dead. A real ghost. Let me go. Gotta do my duty and tell the captain.
That's right, like a good pirate should. Go ahead.
He's on the island. He's on the island.
Who is, you blasted feathered idiots?
Him.
Then you'll lend him to me.
Curse you.
As I expected, you're very human after all. Now bring this island to the surface or before long you will be a ghost.
Don't try anything. You're all covered.
Right at this moment the space guard has taken over Spirit Key so you've got no more captain to protect you.
Now follow orders. Sail this ship where I tell you and maybe we'll go easy on you.
You're safe now, little lady.
You wouldn't arrest me, would you, baby?
You're a pirate, aren't you?
From here on I'm with you. I just joined the merry men.
Oh no.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky, so raise your voices, raise them high, for rocket Robin Hood.
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Knott, the black prince plans for that terrible day when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout through us, the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any colder, sound the horn in every astral plan.
Round and round, on every bend, we stand with Robin to the end, the joys of freedom to live and die.
To me space travelers surround me, heart now, keep a band of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the cruel.
Watch now as our rockets raise here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout through us, the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near a distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, new rally on Rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born.
Oh we stand in fort against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home, with Rocket Robin Hood, with Rocket Robin Hood.
In the far reaches of solar space, Rocket Robin Hood gives three of Prince John's most skillful rocketeers a merry chase.
Magnetic solar storm, this has been a busy day.
Rockets can be fun, but there's a lot to be said for walking.
If I can only hold on a few minutes, I'll be through the magnetic field.
Well I made it, but it blew all my instruments, radio did too.
Where in jumping Jupiter am I?
Trying to get a bearing from the stars.
What's that one over there?
That's not a star, it's nearby, close one.
It's an asteroid down there, but it's twinkling like a star.
Hmm, a diamond, like a diamond in the sky.
Why it is a diamond, a diamond as big as the moon.
Well we'll set her down and have a look around.
There's atmosphere, hmm, solid, blue-white without a flaw.
Uh oh, what's this?
Company, haha that's good, I'm getting a bit tired of talking to myself.
On second thought I wonder if it is good.
One false move and you will be blasted to arondust.
I come in peace, I assure you.
Silence, you will be taken before Emperor James.
You will decide what is to be done with you, you are our prisoner.
On the contrary, I am your guest, I should be delighted to meet your emperor.
Amazing, you have us at your mercy and you are not going to do us in.
Of course not.
You are not going to cut off a piece of our precious asteroid.
No, you must execute our bad manners but when one lives on a diamond one can trust nobody.
Cossacks, attention.
Cossacks?
We are Emperor James prize Carmonetta Cossacks and now if you would allow us we will take you to the emperor.
Cossacks, warm the ring with your electronic ropes.
I hope your ride is scottish.
I have taken worse trips.
Behold, Incandesta, capital city of Carmonetta.
Marvelous, is this all cut from one diamond as it looks?
Yes, it has taken our people thousands of centuries.
And this is the palace.
The emperor will be holding court shortly.
Here is finest ruler of all Carmonetta, Emperor James the eighth.
Really, must you play those horns so loud?
That is the emperor James the eighth.
His father died last year.
He was next in line for the crown.
Looks like he will have to grow into it.
Behind him there, that is the prime minister.
He actually runs things.
What I mean to say, he advises the emperor.
Come, come, your highness.
Everyone is waiting.
Don't push.
All this noise in the people scare me.
The court is now in session.
What is this?
Are we prisoners?
Not prisoners, sir.
Guests.
His craft ran into a storm and he made an emergency landing.
This is an unlikely story.
He comes to steal from us.
You fool, put him to death immediately.
Come on, I am the emperor.
I say who gets executed.
Very well, say it and be done with it.
Maybe I won't.
So there.
Who are you?
Rocket Robin Hood, your highness.
Oh, I heard of you.
I read everything about you.
Would you do some archery stunts for me?
Enough of this.
Practical defense policy has no time for boyhood idols.
The man is an intruder.
Put him to death.
Now, just a minute.
Do you wish me to be this, please, your highness?
But, but...
Oh, very well.
Sign him.
Royce Kim to Hatton Dust.
Bound by the ever tightening electronic ropes,
Rocket Robin Hood faces certain death on the beautiful asteroid Carbonetta.
The countdown's started, trouble's a-roos.
But have no fear, we cannot lose.
We're Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood's ship on Carbonetta, an asteroid cut from a huge solid diamond.
Brought before the boy emperor by the Carbonetta Cossacks,
he is sentenced to death by the evil prime minister.
Tyran!
Why are you waiting?
I'm sorry, Rocket Robin.
I have no choice.
I've taken just about enough of this nonsense.
You must teach me that stuff.
Play along with me, I'll tell you.
Fire those ray guns and you destroy your own emperor.
You'll pay for this, Rocket Robin Hood.
I'm taking the boy with me as hostage.
Shh, pretend to be frightened.
Once I'm free of this place, I'll return him unharmed.
Very well, clear the way.
He played right into my hands.
Believe me, we can use this to my advantage.
How much longer?
Have to go slow, navigating by the stars.
Ridiculous! I am the emperor and I command you to go faster.
Look, as long as you're with the merry man, you can forget that emperor business.
To us, you're Jimmy. Your rank is Page and Junior Squire.
We're just as bossy as the prime minister. I want to go home.
Turn around!
I can't, not enough fuel. But if you're going to act this way,
I'll refuel the minute we get to Sherwood and send you back.
Raised him. I'm sending your emperor back right away.
My emperor? I have no more emperor.
Emperor James was brutally killed by you.
What?
That is the story I have told my subjects.
You see, I now rule Carmelitta.
Bring that brat here and he will be put to death as an imposter.
Goodbye.
Oh, that mean crooked old thing.
What do we do now?
It looks as if you're going to be one of the merry men, Jimmy.
Now, let's set up your course of instruction.
I'll teach you archery, Will Scarlet can take care of karate,
and Little John will teach you the quarter staff.
I don't want to.
Come on, kid, I'll show you some tricks.
Now first you got to learn how to hold the staff.
Pick it up.
My God, it's too heavy.
Now, when I come at you, you strike out at me like this.
Hatchah!
Sorry.
You should be. Making scary noises like that.
Let's try it.
Ah, choo! Ooh!
Yeah, it hurts!
Oh, for the love of Venus.
But the string makes my fingers all sore.
Oh, I can't do anything right.
Come on, try it again.
Bullseye!
Well, it's more of a bull's ear, but you hit the target.
Even I didn't do that on my first lesson.
Try again.
Now, don't worry, I'm not going to push hard.
You see, when somebody comes at you, you faint this way.
Oh, go ahead.
A kid your size can't knock me off.
Now, I come at you.
What happened?
He threw you, little John, he threw you.
Rock it, Robin, I think we've got a winner in that lab.
Still got a long way to go, but he'll make it.
Tomorrow, I'm taking him on his first hunting exhibition.
Do you mind if I do my radio physics homework while we travel?
Go right ahead, use the portable astrovision.
Look who I got!
Nothing like snooping on the enemy's private conversation.
Turn up the astroaudio.
Now I'll repeat the plan.
My forces will attack our planet Earth.
What?
Shh, and you will put up, but until then, resistance.
Over.
Why is that?
And your superior forces will conquer us.
Then you will finish the population.
When they are gone, we will divide up Carbonetta
and be the richest men in the history of the universe.
Ha ha ha!
Why, that's terrible.
The diamonds of Carbonetta must never be used for grainy purposes.
Jimmy, let's cancel the hunting trip and put a few wrinkles in their plans.
No, they'll kill me.
I'm afraid!
Is this the same young merry man who only a moment ago said nothing, frightened him anymore?
Sir, if you would, take me back to my people.
They need me.
That's the brave lad, Jimmy.
Oh, excuse me, I mean Emperor Jimmy.
It's Rocket Rabbit Hunt!
He killed our young emperor.
Blast him on his ship till out of dust!
Ready, aim!
Unless Rocket Robin discovers the terrible death ray pointed at him,
both he and Emperor Jimmy have only seconds to live.
Oh, danger looms through valkers' gates,
the villain stands up,
eight through eight,
we're Rocket Robin Hood!
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor,
combined with a truly super weapon,
the electro-sporter staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
Mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come,
Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking,
then it's time for the one and only Fire Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Knot,
think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it,
Fire Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite,
is just one of the astounding space characters in the movie,
The Merry Band of Rocket Robin Hood, in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has us now, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are made okay, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Prince John and the evil Prime Minister of Carbonetta, the Diamond Asteroid, plot to seize power.
Rocket Robin Hood and the little Emperor Jimmy return to the asteroid to stop them.
Rocket Robin, I just remembered, there's a guided missile emplacement in that mountain below.
What? You're right, they're aiming at us. Hold tight.
Fire!
Shoot again!
We'll have to eject. Hold on to me.
We're falling too fast. This shoot is only meant for one.
Drop me, Rocket Robin. Don't endanger yourself.
Forget it, just hold on. We made bounce pretty hard. Here comes the ground.
Rocket Robin! Robin! Wake up! Here comes the caution!
Destroy them at once!
No! Do you not recognize me?
Your Highness! Present arms!
Fools!
Do not be tricked! He is an imposter!
Shoot him and his accomplished Rocket Robin Hood!
Farewell, old great man, to the new Sherwood Forest.
No! I won't let you hurt him!
Why, you meddling pituit! This atomic sword will finish you!
Maybe you will, but maybe you won't.
It would be beautiful if there was one.
I won!
Bravo, Emperor Jimmy! Bravo!
Are you all right? Yes, I enjoyed my nap. You were right to be emperor.
You proved it. Am I right?
Long live Emperor Jimmy!
My dear people, we can not waste time on cheers.
Prince John's armada is near Carbonetta. We must fight back.
Prince John? We can never defeat him!
His forces are too strong.
We must surrender!
No, my people! We must not give up!
Robin, they are as afraid as I was.
You must give them courage as you gave me courage.
Well, I don't know. They may be right.
And after all, I'm not their emperor, you are.
I see. Then I will fight them myself.
My people, we can defeat the forces of the knot.
My people of Carbonetta, we can win.
We must win. We will win.
I won them over. I made them see.
And I did it myself.
That was the idea. Now let's devise a plan of action.
I figured it out too. We will use the one thing we have.
Diamonds. We must act quickly.
Prince John's armada is almost there.
Everyone, get a pick and start breaking off the diamonds.
Those who are not engaged in diamond cutting will be shot.
They are landing. There must be thousands of them.
But we are ready.
Now!
What are these things?
Are you sure? Hey, these are diamonds.
Real diamonds. Look!
Enough of this to make me rich for life.
Give me them. They are mine.
Mine.
Contact! Surround the field and take them prisoner.
Robin, we won.
As they say in the history books, Your Majesty, the day is yours.
I wish I could go back to Sherwood Asteroid with you.
No, Jimmy. You are a true emperor now. Your job is here.
And you can wear that crown with pride.
There is something I can wear with even more pride.
It looks good.
And I promise you, in the roster of the Merry Men, along with Little John and Will Scarlet,
there will always be a place for Hepburn Jimmy.
We are Robin's men, we rule the sky.
So raise your voices, raise them high.
Go Rocket Robin Hood!
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant Prince John,
despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked Sheriff of Nott, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day
when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well, he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, cats fell high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise, beyond the earth, beyond the skies.
At the sight of Robin, take your stand, with the gallant leader of our band.
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any colder.
Sound the horn in every astral plane, we're running round, a merry man.
We stand with Robin to the end, the choice of freedom to defend
is the place to be, on the side of the free, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Coming up.
Come gather around me, space travelers, surround me, heart now to the band of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the cruel.
Watch now as our rockets raise here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
And our brothers marching together, cats fell high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise, beyond the earth, beyond the skies.
At the sight of Robin, take your stand, with the gallant leader of our band.
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born,
to rally round Rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born.
Oh, we're sallying forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home, with Rocket Robin Hood.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
On a peaceful morning on Sherwood asteroid, Robin and his enormous friend Little John are passing the time in a one-sided contest when suddenly...
Little John, do you have a cousin George?
Yeah, my Aunt Petunia's boy.
Well, according to this he'll be here any minute.
Little George here and he's coming to stay. What's this all about?
The last time I was on earth I went to visit the boy and my Aunt Petunia and I told Little George that when he grew up he might come to Sherwood and join the Merry Men.
But he's just a child, a little farm boy.
Well, he evidently feels he's ready.
Robin, we're in trouble.
Your worries are about to commence, friend. There's the interplanetary rocket transport.
Howdy, Cousin John, I'm here. When do we start out, Lowen?
Little George, does Aunt Petunia know you're here?
No, siree, I done run away just like I said I would.
Oh, no.
What's ailing you, Cousin John? You look like you've been road hard and put away wet.
Little George, you are going to get back on that transport.
And Little John, what kind of a welcome is that? Let him learn his way around the same way you did. Show the boy around. Make him feel at home.
Well, I'll be dipped in the crick and hung to dry. You must be Rocket Robin Hood.
And I am, Little George.
And allow me to present the famous Friar Tuck.
Never heard of you, but howdy, famous Friar.
Howdy-do. What in the name of Pluto is that suffocating odor?
That must be my pet, Genevieve. Always happens whenever she gets a wee bit excited.
Yep. Here's the sweetest little skunk on earth.
Take that to the fuel bin and leave it there.
Well, Jim, if I'd have known you didn't like animals.
We love animals, Little George. It's just that some of them are best loved at a distance.
Now, you'll be a good little girl, here. I'll be back soon with your vittles.
Wow, we just look at all this fancy stuff.
Where's Little George?
Inside, putting Genevieve away. I'm afraid the fragrance got the best of me. I have to wait here.
Yeah, who else does Dolphino?
I believe of all that's airborne, he's got my new portable rocket. The only one of its kind in the universe.
It's the third!
Jump in hog jails, what a ride!
You fellas seen my landing?
No, as a matter of fact, we didn't, Little George. We decided to stay as close to the ground as possible, but we heard it all just fine.
Howdy, Mr. Will Scarlet.
I have, hey Little George.
What's this here, fine.
Don't touch that.
What's this here thing he says? And zap, no radar tower.
Bad enough, my ship. But without the radar tower, we're practically defenseless against attack.
We've got to send him home, Robin.
Robin, this must be done.
Ah, another voice to be heard. What's your complaint, Giles?
That teenage horse got loose in my pantry and ate everything he could lift.
Well, it's about time the friar had some competition in that department.
I hope you can last your way through tonight's menu of nutrition, pills, and water. The liner's empty.
Honest, Mr. Giles, I've just come to apologize myself for wolfing down all your biddles. And I'm a-fiction to make it up to you with my bowl.
I'm going right out now hunting, and I ain't coming back till I bag me enough game so you can stock yourself up for weeks.
Get out of my kitchen!
Right away, Mr. Giles. I'm going to get me a hold of a rocket ship.
Man, boy, I'm going to bag me a parcel of space critters, the likes of which.
Well, goody. Ain't that a fancy farmhouse. I've got to get me a closer look at that.
Rocket approaching. It's one of Rocket Robin Hood's men.
The receptors, blast off!
My, my, that's Rock Birdie. I wonder what these fellas want.
Hey, what you do that for? You cut that out, you hear?
You just wait till I tell Mr. Robin on you. Hey!
Is little George going to fall into the hands of an evil sheriff if not? If he does, the sheriff is going to be sorry.
The countdown started, trouble cruise.
Well, have no fear, we cannot lose.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
Little John's enormous country cousin, having blundered his way into not territory, has been shot down from the sky, his flight coming to an abrupt halt at the castle wall.
He went hunting, you say?
That's right, Robin. He said he wanted to make up for eating all of our middles.
I'll go after him right away.
Await, little John. Little George's motives are well founded. He wants to pull his own weight. Let's give him a chance. If he hasn't returned by dark, we'll organize a search.
Just a boy, you say? Praying to me.
Cut that out, you hear? What you do? You're a big goldie. When my mamma hears about this, shame on you.
So, Rocket Robin Hood, astute to employing children.
You are fortunate that I have a soft heart, my lad.
Because of your youth, I will forego the pleasure of executing one of Robin Hood's outlaws, and hereby sentence you to twenty years of hard labor.
Take him to the meteor quarry.
You're going to be sorry. My mammy will take kindly to be us.
You are to be his personal guard. This is what I want you to do.
This ain't no kind of work for a clean living farm boy.
Look son, I have a boy of my own about your age. I hate the thought of you being a prisoner. You do as I tell you, and I'll help you escape.
I sure will, Mr. Guard. Anything you say.
All right now, pay attention. Just around the corner of the castle wall is your rocket ship. It's been repaired.
While I engage the other guards in conversation, you slip away to your ship and blast off, got it?
Yes sirree, Mr. Guard sir. I got it real good. And I want to say, you're a real nice person.
Never mind that. I'll get a move on.
There's the signal. Get ready to blast off, man. There he goes. Blast off, man.
We've got him in our orbital radar scanner, sir. He can't lose us. He'll lead us straight to Sherwood Asteroid.
At last I'll meet Prophet Robin Hood on his whole ground. He'll not be able to escape me this time.
By a desperate I've done it. I escaped. Of some kind of tricky outlaw I am.
Lead the way, you had a rest.
Lead the way.
And you will lead the search party in the eighth orbital path.
With my luck I'll probably find him. Let's be on our way.
Look Robin, hear that asteroid swarm.
Yahoo, I made it.
How he got to be 16, I'll never know.
Howdy there cousin John.
Don't you howdy there cousin John me. I ought to turn you over my knee. You had me scared to death.
You were scared to death? What about me? Ain't I the fellow who was shot out in the sky?
Ain't I the fellow who was sentenced to 20 yards of hard labor in the mediocre one?
Slow down little George. Now tell us what happened from the beginning.
Well here I am a going hunting. Just moseying alone looking for a likely spot.
When sudden like I seen the biggest farmhouse ever. It is built kind of like a castle.
And it had a big flag on top with an M and an O and a couple of T's on it.
I wonder what that meant.
Never mind that. Get on with it. Get on with it.
Well like I said I'm just looking the place over when sudden like three spaceship blast off and come after me.
And do you know what they done?
We can't even guess little George.
What did they done?
I did. They blasted rockets at me. That's what they done and they shot me down.
And then a bunch of feller's funny looking suits jumped on me and they dragged me into a big room where they was the meanest looking feller I ever seen.
An apt description of the shirt.
I don't know who he was. They all kept calling him his own excellency.
Anyways he said because I was a young and he felt sorry for me.
That doesn't sound like a sheriff I know.
That's what he said. And he said instead of giving me an execution he was going to make me do twenty years of hard labor.
One question little George. If you were sentenced to twenty years of hard labor how do you account for your presence here?
You've only been gone since this morning.
Aha. I foxed them. When they wasn't looking I jumped in that spaceship and escaped. That simple.
Just like I told him.
Hmm. Something's wrong here.
What's bothering you Robin? Brains were never the sheriff's long suit but I don't believe he's that stupid.
I wonder what he has up his sleeve.
There's your answer Robin. Look. The boy let him right to us.
But how did they get through our radar cover?
Your little cousin took care of that too remember?
I'm afraid we haven't got the armament to defend ourselves against such an attack force.
That must be the entire Naut fleet.
I calculate the odds at about ten to one are better. That's hardly fair.
The sheriff had better get some help.
I'll bet that Blackheart is enjoying this moment.
Is it any wonder? He appears to have finally done something right.
The end of Rocket Robin Hood and his band of cup droips is in sight.
They will not escape my vengeance this time.
First units commence your firing run.
As the sheriff at last won the day, can Robin and the Merryman even hope to repel such an overwhelming attack force?
Who in danger looms throughout her space?
The villain stands up, H to H with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the grandiest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
Mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's Merrymen in the amazing years to come,
Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking,
then it's time for the one and only Fire Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Knot, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it.
Fire Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has his cow, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are made okay, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Thanks to the misadventures of Little George, Robin and the Merrymen are besieged by the entire Knot astral fleet.
Outnumbered and faced with superior arms, their situation is desperate.
Those fellas have spent some time on the practice firing range since our last outing.
We better get organized.
Little John, hide the boy in the fuel bin until this is over.
Come on, Little George.
Will, you assemble the rest of the men.
We can't very well ward off those fortresses with our sporting weapons.
Trier, you and I will have to try to make it to the modern arms locker.
And stay here until this is over and then come out cautiously.
You know, Genevieve, I don't think I like the outlawing business after all.
A fella could get himself killed good and dead around here.
That was a bit too close, and from here on it's all open field.
We'll have to make a dash to the arms locker.
You know, sprinting was never my talent.
See how lucky we are?
If we hadn't paused to discuss your prowess as a runner, we'd have been inside that pile of ashes.
Now what do we do?
Pit-poo an arrow against space fortresses?
That won't be necessary, Trier.
They're landing.
At least we'll have the privilege of cracking a few heads before this is over.
Now remember, men.
Try to take as many alive as possible.
I want the pleasure of inviting French John to their execution.
But if they put up too much resistance, don't hesitate to use your laser ray guns.
Victory at any cost!
Remember, Chubby, if you get into trouble, just call out and I'll come to your rescue.
You of all people, I'll probably be busy all night beating them off your back.
Outnumbered ten to one, eh?
I can promise you I'll get my ten before this is over.
My friends, this night may very well be our last one, so let's make it a good one.
Fools! Idiots!
Cowards! Retreat!
Use your laser weapons!
If you can't take them alive, take them anywhere!
Hello, Robin. I guess we've driven them off.
I'm afraid not. I think they've been ordered to use their laser weapons,
and for that they need plenty of room in order to keep from shooting each other.
Take cover, everybody!
That's it! Keep firing!
Look at them run like rats in a furrow.
Rocket Robin Hood, you will be mine before this day is over.
Pull back! Pull back to the meteorite cave!
The cave?
Prior, we haven't much of a chance, if any at all.
If we make them come into the cave after us, we'll have them in close quarters
and make them limit their use of the laser guns.
Sound thinking.
Pull back to the cave!
We've got them on the run!
Raise on, men! Raise on!
Genevieve, this here Sherwood asteroid is the all right place to visit,
but I sure wouldn't want to live here.
Say, the shooting noise seems to be dying down.
Perhaps you and me go take a look, see?
In you go, men. Make them come after us, then make them sorry they did.
Look alive now. Look alive!
Over on there, into the trench!
Boom!
Blast away at that cave!
Green, got them cornered now!
Little John, if I didn't know you for the stout-hearted ox you've always been,
I'd say you were frightened.
I sure am.
Oh, not for myself, you fool. I'm thinking of Little George.
If anything happens to him, I have to face up to Aunt Petunia,
and I'd much rather take on the entire not-army bare-handed.
I wonder how long it will be before the Great Chicken Heart realizes he has to come in after us.
They've got them cornered!
What are we going to do now, Genevieve?
Genevieve!
Not returning on fire.
That devil has some trick of his sleeve.
That is...
Poison gas!
Back to the ship!
We've got to get out of here!
Genevieve! I know that heavenly aroma anywhere!
Well, Little George, by popular demand you are now a full-fledged member of the Merry Men,
and you are also entitled to a reward. Just name it.
Mr. Robin, there's just too dang much blasting and shooting and fighting goes on up here.
And if I get myself killed, my mammy will tear my hide.
So if it's all the same to you, I just want to go home.
We are going to miss you, boy.
I was a fear to that, Friar, so I'm leaving Genevieve with you to remember me by.
You two should get along famously, Friar.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky.
So raise your voices, raise them high.
Raise them high for Rocket Robin Hood!
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant Prince John,
despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Nark, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day
when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
And so he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together,
held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts and roaring rockets rise.
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout through the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any bolder.
Sound the horn in every astral glen, we rally round, on every man we stand with Robin to the end.
The joys of freedom to defend, is the place to be on the side of the free with Rocket Robin Hood.
Coming up.
Come gather around me, space travelers surround me, heart now to the valiant of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
And our brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts and roaring rockets rise.
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout through the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born,
to rally round rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born.
Oh, we stand in force against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home, with Rocket Robin Hood.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
How much longer till dawn will?
Three, four hours maybe.
I'm so tired.
Keep awake. It's our only chance.
If we go under the hypnogas we'll never wake up.
Robin's right. I managed a planetary analysis just before we crashed.
Once we start dreaming, we won't stop.
Why can't we just signal face sent work to pick us up?
Because it was our luck to crash at night.
Not only is the hypnogas deadly to all forms of animal life, but it blankets the atmosphere.
It warps deep space radio waves.
Just hold out till dawn. Sunlight destroys the gas.
Thank Jupiter our transmitter's okay.
Our signals will get through once the sun comes up.
Little John.
This is no good, gentlemen.
We're out of anti-sleep pills, and we've been awake for 48 hours already.
We've got to keep the adrenaline moving, otherwise we're sure to drift off.
But there's nothing dangerous here to keep us awake.
Nothing except the gas.
The animal life disappeared long ago.
I'm so sleepy. Sleepy.
Mommy, tell little Johnny a bedtime story.
That's it. Not bedtime stories, though.
Sure. Waking stories to keep ourselves on edge, excited, awake.
You've got it. Robin's right.
Will, do those giant mushrooms remind you of anything?
Yeah. Mantis beetles.
Remember how it started?
Peaceful town, waiting in the darkness.
The spotted hills, the castle.
The hills! They walk again! Run for your lives!
Get moved!
Get down!
They nearly got you, too, didn't they?
It was close, all right. Boy, were we in for a surprise when we landed.
Pull up, Will!
I can't!
You won't watch! The controls are paralyzed!
They're closing in on us!
Bad, Robin. Any ideas?
If my hunch is right, these beetles are robots, remote controlled by mantis sonic organ impulses.
Here's my plan! You better give it to me fast! Look!
Remote and manual. That's simple enough. Think I'll take over for a while.
All set, Will?
All set.
Here they come.
It was quick thinking on Robin's part that saved us.
That sure was close.
Are Robin and the gang going beddy-by for the last time?
Are they now doomed to the endless adventure of dreams?
The countdown's started, trouble's ruse. But have no fear, we cannot lose.
We're rocket Robin Hood.
Crash landing on the sinister planet of dreams.
Robin and his men become aware that they are in danger of falling into a deadly sleep.
From which they will never awaken.
What? What? We've got to stay alert. Those bubbles are bopping for us.
I wish this whole planet would pop. I remember the way things popped when I shrunk down and met the Amoeba people inside that cloud controlling Tiny.
I really didn't expect to get out of that one.
You had us all scared.
What happened anyway?
You've got less than three men back here. Jet pack, Friar, that's a great idea.
Alright gentlemen, you want me? Here I come.
Robin! Robin! Come in! I can't reach him.
Look! Tiny! He's stopped.
All set for the Thunderbolt recharge? And not a second too soon. Give me the range.
Range 1-700.
1-700.
It's the alien! Guards! Guards!
Stop! Stop at once! We'll be ruined!
We need to take presence of Friar. Friar will dehydrate atmosphere of cloud. We are doomed. That is all.
If Friar will do the trick, I might as well help it along.
Have a blast on me.
When I came too, Tiny was okay.
Yeah, I always liked Tiny. He's a real nice guy.
He even helped rebuild.
Wake up!
Thanks. What we need are some fireworks around here. Anything to keep us up.
Bazaar fireworks, eh? Remember the fireworks we nearly had when Robin rode that missile?
It had an oxenite warhead. It could have taken up three planets. I had to stay with it.
Robin, let go!
You picked me up on radar. Boy, did I blow your minds out of orbit when I started to work on that thing.
I thought it might be a good idea to try to disarm it before it goes off.
That's a pretty tricky business. Those things are delicate. The slightest touch in the wrong place and boom!
If so, we'll never know it.
How are you doing?
It's coming, but slowly. I hope I've got enough time. I've got it. It's loose.
Take it easy now.
Well, now that you've got that thing, what are you going to do with it?
I'm going to try to remove the oxenite capsule.
I've got the oxenite, but the detonating fuse is too far down. You'd better get me off this space scooter in a hurry.
We'll pull overhead and lower the body tube.
Step on it, little John. We're approaching Knott now. That detonating charge could go off any second.
There she goes on her merry way to Knott Castle.
I still get the shivers when I think of it. If that oxenite had exploded...
Luckily, it didn't.
What have you got to say, little John?
Do you think that...
The gas!
The hypnogas is rising, and the merry men are sinking down.
No danger looms through outer space. The villain stands up, H to H, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is little John, the granniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
The most mysterious alliance of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules, the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
The greatest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come, little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking, then it's time for the one and only prior Tuck to come to the rescue.
Like the wicked sheriff of Knot, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about. But don't you believe it?
Prior Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has the scowl, you'll soon be on the run. Our systems now are made okay, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
Crashing on the planet of dreams, Robin and his men desperately fight the grip of eternal sleep by reliving their past adventures. But the fatal sleep continues to threaten them.
Only one chance. Don't know if it will work. May wreck the transmitter. Got to try.
That was close. Everyone, open your eyes as wide as you can. Force them open and keep them open. So tired. Robin, what did you do anyway?
I shocked that mushroom. It closed in reflex, jerked like your finger does when it's shocked.
Why can't you do it some more? We need the power so the rescue ship can get a fix on us. Either to find us or our bodies. I hope the former.
If only we had our blasters. We could burn down enough mushrooms to give us some clear air.
Good. Too many of them. Hey Robin, stop dreaming. Dreaming. Unreal. Dementia 5.
Sleep in the night. Prepare yourselves. Avoid into dementia 5.
The controls are going crazy. Robin, wake up.
Little John, we're going beyond the speed of light. Impossible, but it's happening. We're breaking up. Hit the last reading from the computer. But why? Just do it, mister.
What is this?
Come into the realm of the infinite. Come forward into dementia 5.
Nice place to visit, but I certainly wouldn't want to live.
You have not crossed the threshold yet. Observe.
Climb the stairway of mystery, then cross the threshold of reality and enter into the realm of dementia 5.
I can't stop myself. I'm being pulled up the stairs. What's there? What's on the other side?
Closer. Come closer.
I can't stop myself.
Open the door. Open the door. Huh? What? I will. All of you, wake up. Once sun rises, we can sleep.
I can't take much more. What's the use? So close, if only dawn.
Come in, Rocket Robin. This is a patrol ship in orbit around the planet. We have a fix on you. Are you receiving, over? We receive you loud and clear. Await your landing.
You really gave us a scare. We thought... Hello? Hello? Are you receiving? Okay to sleep now, John.
Hello? Hello? Hey, Mac, can you beat that? Here we had the whole galactic sector alerted and they're sleeping.
Wait till Base Central hears about this. Boy, they must have had some fun to tire themselves out that way.
Wish I could have been there. Yeah, all we did was trade stories.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky. So raise your voices, raise them high. Go, Rocket Robin!
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories. With the help of the wicked sheriff of knot, the black prince plans for that terrible day when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well, he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood. Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies at the sight of Robin.
So, Robin, take your stand with the gallant leader of our band. Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dared defy us, none were any older. Sound the horn in every astral glen, we're really proud. Our merry band, we stand with Robin to the end. The joys of freedom do demand.
Coming up.
Come gather around me, space travelers surround me, hark now to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the fat and the cruel.
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies at the sight of Robin.
So, Robin, take your stand with the gallant leader of our band. Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
From near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, you rally round Rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born. So we sadly forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home, with Rocket Robin Hood.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood and Little John soar through space on an exploratory mission to investigate the reported presence of a new and strange heavenly body in the galaxy.
There it is Little John, straight ahead.
Weird looking.
What is it?
Well according to Friar Tuck's guess, it's a volcanic island blown off the face of the planet Earth by the force of its last eruption.
He's just drifted into this orbit. Let's take a closer look.
You're getting too close Little John. Pull out.
I can't.
What's the matter?
I don't have enough power to pull out of the dive.
Fail out in a hurry. I'll pick you up.
You better hurry Robin. I think that volcano is getting angry.
What was that?
When your ship hit, it set off the volcano. Just a minor eruption, but we caught something. We'll have to go down for repairs.
What a creepy place.
Now how did a sword ever get stuck backwards into solid rock like that?
It wasn't always solid rock Little John. At one time it was molten lava. Look there's something engraved on the blade. It says Ulysses.
Oh I can't believe this. He's supposed to have lived thousands of years ago.
Guess I'll have to try the laser.
Wait a minute. Better use the dissolving ray. If there's anything inside, I don't want it disintegrated along with the rock.
Perfect state of preservation. The lava must have acted like a seal.
Maybe so, but something sure smells funny.
Don't you recognize it? Perpetroleum.
Perpetroleum?
Perpetual life gas in its natural state. Probably formed by some accidental combination of volcanic gases.
I wonder who he is.
Well don't just stand there. Prepare a revivifying injection.
Look out Robin.
You are at the mercy of my blade most monstrous of fiends. Tell me now were you hidden the golden fleece or prepared to die with your secret.
What's he talking about?
I was afraid this might happen.
I just want to have a little talk with him and bring him up to date.
That I was in that cave in time suspension for thousands of years?
Give or take a few centuries.
So you're the son of the great Ulysses.
But I've brought dishonor to my father's name. I failed to recover the golden fleece.
What's that?
A sheepskin made of solid gold. But that's not why it's so important. The golden fleece makes anyone who puts it on indestructible.
It was mine to use for the good of mankind. Then it was stolen by the cyclops.
If this latest eruption unearthed me, it must have done the same for him.
And armed with the golden fleece, an indestructible cyclops. That's a terrible thing to set loose on the universe.
My friend, we're going to help you find your cyclops and your golden fleece. Come on.
Little John, that's a footprint.
A footprint? Why to make a footprint this big a man would have to be as big as a...
Cyclops!
Is there any escape from the evil one-eyed monster? What can Rocket Robin Hood do against such overwhelming odds?
Oh.
Rub-Count-Dumb-Starved Trouble Cruise. But have no fear, we cannot lose. With Rockets, Robin Hood.
A giant footprint has led Robin and his friends to the cave of the cyclops, where they are taken by surprise by the fiendish one-eyed monster himself.
Ulysses, young friend, you sure pick on tough customers.
You're the idea man, Robin. Think of something.
Robin, that won't be any more than a pinprick to him.
The arrowhead is dipped in Noxase, Ulysses. If I can inject it into the right spot, it will put him under for a while.
Let's hope the Noxase injection was strong enough to do the trick.
It worked!
For the time being.
Come on, we've got just minutes before it wears off.
What now, Robin?
Find the Golden Fleece before he comes to.
It must be somewhere in this labyrinth of caves.
Right, or else he wouldn't have gone to the trouble to guard the entrance.
Let's see what's down this passage.
The floor of this passage is worn smooth. It must lead to something.
The Hydra!
I must be guarding that door for a reason.
And I think we know what that reason is.
Little John, give me your half of the Moonite cylinder.
Moonite? Is that a weapon?
It was invented after your time, Ulysses. Moonite is the hardest substance known to man.
Nothing can penetrate it except Moonite itself.
There should be just enough left in this cylinder. Watch.
Moonite!
Let's hope there's a back entrance out of the room behind this door.
Well, my friend, we were right.
The Golden Fleece!
So that's the Golden Fleece.
Yes, Little John. And it will be mine once again.
Come on, the Cyclops isn't going to stay under forever.
That protective ring of fire is going to present a problem.
Not for long.
Little John?
Coming up.
Condensed foam. Watch. That takes care of the fire hazard.
But Robin, that altar is a solid shaft of polished marble.
How are we going to scale it?
We aren't.
Little John, positions.
One more man ought to do it.
Can you reach it?
Yes. I'll climb up here on the ledge and hand it down.
Robin, do you hear it?
Probably volcanic gases escaping from the rocks.
Robin, don't turn around.
Whatever you do, don't turn around.
Little John, did you hear him? Don't turn around.
Whatever you say, Robin.
All right, Ulysses. We promise not to turn around.
Now, do you mind telling us why?
Look at the reflecting surface of the marble.
The Medusa.
Oh, how long are we supposed to stand like this?
What's the bigger deal? A Medusa or whatever you call it anyhow.
Whoever looks into the face of the Medusa is turned instantly to stone.
What defense will work against the awesome power of the Medusa?
Oh, danger looms through outer space.
The villain stands up, H to A, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the braniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
The great deliant of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon,
the electro-porter staff.

So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Robin has found the fabulous golden fleece, only to be faced with a new danger, the evil Medusa.
One look at her face will turn the beholder instantly into stone.
We can't stay like this forever.
What is this Medusa doing now?
Waiting for us to make our move.
We'd be turned to stone before we could defend ourselves.
All I've got left is a bludgeon arrow.
I hope it does the job.
You did it Robin, nice shot.
Couldn't have done more than stun her momentarily, I couldn't get much force behind it.
It's still not safe to look at the face.
Back to order, I'll cover her face.
Little John, you tie your hands and...
Something tells me our ten minutes are up.
Quick, spread out, make them go for us one at a time.
Raw dream.
converge
We have one ace in the hole.
This is a refractory gas grenade.
It won't stop him, but it will slow him down, make him see triple.
You mean he'll see three of everything?
Exactly.
Come, come, old boy.
Which one is the real Rocket Robin?
I'm over here.
Ulysses, get the Golden Fleece, then we'll make a run for it.
Make for the door. The Cyclops might get lucky. I'll stall them as long as I can.
But Robin, the Golden Fleece makes me invincible.
It doesn't make me and Little John invincible.
Run for it.
We're in this together.
And we'll get out of it together if you do what I say.
Quick, Ulysses, give me the Golden Fleece.
Here, you big old...if you want this so much, take it.
Little John, cover your eyes, quick.
Can anyone use a nice stone statue of a Cyclops?
I guess you know what's in my heart, my brave friend.
Thank you, Ulysses, for rescuing me from what might otherwise have been a boring afternoon.
One of my men will pilot you back to the planet Earth.
Goodbye, Robin. Goodbye, Little John.
I'm going to miss that fellow.
Oh, we'll probably see him again, maybe in another few thousand years or so.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky, so raise your voices, raise them high for Rocket Robin Hood.
Our enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.

Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, hands held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the Earth, beyond the skies at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, not dare defy us, none were any colder, sound the horn in every astral glen.
We're running round on air event, we stand with Robin through the end. The joys of freedom to defend, is the place to be by the side of the free with Rocket Robin Hood.
Come gather around me, space travelers surround me, heart now to the valet of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
When the brothers marching together, hands held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the Earth, beyond the skies at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, to rally round rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born.
Oh, we're tallying forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home with Rocket Robin Hood. With Rocket Robin Hood.
As the interplanetary bank on Earth is about to receive a billion dollar gold shipment from one of its branches, a strange turn of events takes place.
I can't budge the controls, they're stuck. This saucer won't budge.
Activate the general alarm system, contact the interplanetary police.
All communications are knocked out sir, nothing is operating, not even our guns.
One billion dollars worth of gold my boys, left it right under their noses by yours truly, Dr. Magnet.
Who'd ever guess that this innocent looking spaceship contains the most powerful magnet in the universe.
Dr. Magnet and his magnificent magnet. Soon I'll pick every planet in the universe clean of all its precious metals. Gold, silver, platinum, whatever.
What's under our lair, someone's going to figure out who's doing this and then we'll have the entire galaxy on our trail.
When will you learn that I think of everything? You see before you an exact copy of the homing arrow invented by the most famous outlaw in the universe, Rocket Robin Hood.
I simply dial this astral beam to the interplanetary police headquarters and insert this note stating Rocket Robin Hood's intention to continue honing the universe of its gold until he has every last scrap.
Very clever doctor.
And while they busy themselves searching for Rocket Robin Hood, we conduct business as usual.
Dr. Magnet, unidentified facial object on video scanner.
What a coincidence. The OCE of Robin Hood's asteroid.
Activate X-ray scanner. Let's see what we can draw from Rocket Robin Hood's bank account before they throw him in prison.
Set condition orbit.
Attention all interplanetary space police. This is Captain Scott. Information received implicates Rocket Robin Hood with recent gold robberies.
Bring him to headquarters for questioning. Use maximum force if necessary. That is all.
I think Captain Scott's been orbiting too close to the sun. I'd better go have a talk with him.
Robin, radar scope reports an unidentified spaceship orbiting the asteroid.
Let's go upstairs and have a look.
There it is Robin. Get ahead.
The silliest looking spaceship I ever saw. What do you make of that gadget on top?
Looks like some kind of high voltage antenna.
Spacecraft request identification. Spacecraft request identification.
Spacecraft request identification. This is Rocket Robin Hood. This is Rocket Robin Hood.
Well, Rocket Robin Hood wants me to identify myself.
Hello Rocket Robin. This is Dr. Magnet. Surprise?
Dr. Magnet? That explains the gold robberies. I thought that old pig was dead.
Well, we can't have everything.
Ready maximum magnetic power.
Ready sir.
All rockets fire away.
All instruments are dead Robin. We can't fire.
Let me try them.
No use. Every instrument on the panel is frozen. That was a concentrated magnetic blast.
The controls have all gone dead.
In minutes, Rocket Robin Hood and his merry men will be merry men.
Let's get back to headquarters on final plateau. After this exciting and tiring day, I feel like some guardian.
Gold guardian of course.
That asteroid is coming up mighty fast. What do we do now?
I don't know Friar, but I'm thinking. I'm thinking.
Is this the end of Rocket Robin Hood and his merry men?
Has Dr. Magnet succeeded in magnetically sealing their doom?
The countdown started. Trouble crews.
But have no fear. We cannot lose.
With rocket Robin Hood.
From the guns of Dr. Magnet, Robin's spaceship plunges helplessly out of control toward the asteroid.
Only minutes remain before the seemingly inevitable disaster.
We have one chance to pull out of this. I have an idea, but we'll have to work fast.
What is it? Little John, take out the manual death meter and lead wires from the emergency toolkit.
Right. Good. Now, open all rocket chutes forward, starboard and port.
Everybody, grab a lead wire and attach it to the firing death meters on each of the rockets.
Well, what's the idea, Robin? The rockets blasting against the asteroid will act as a breaking force.
Right. Everything hooked up? Check.
We're coming in fast. Hang on. Here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one.
How about that? All the controls are operating again.
Prepare to blast off. We have a score to settle with Magnet.
There they are, Robin. Just off starboard.
That's him, all right. We'd better drop in unannounced. Release simulated meteorite particles.
Right off. Looks like he's going in for a landing.
They just swallowed them up. Very clever.
Cut off meteorite particles. We may need them later on. Check.
Land behind that hill near the base of the cliff.
All right now, let's find out what's going on.
Looks like there's a passageway leading inside. Follow me. Don't make a sound.
Yes, Agent 43. What do you have to report?
Good news, Dr. Magnet. Yes.
In less than three hours, planet Earth will transfer $20 million in gold from its gold reserve to the Moe for safe keeping.
The International Space Police will act as a protective convoy. The gold will be carried in a conventional gold vault.
That is all. Thank you, Agent 43.
Back to the spaceship. We have a rendezvous with $20 million worth of gold on the Moe.
Let's get out of here and see if we can mess up his plans a little bit.
There he is. Straight ahead. Switch on simulated meteorite particles. We don't want to spoil the surprise.
Right. There's the Moe. Gotta act quickly. The gold convoy from Earth will be here any minute.
Robin, simulated meteorite supply reading is down to zero. The particle cloud is disappearing.
We used up more than I figured. Stand by for action.
Dr. Magnet, an identified spaceship approaching from the rear.
That's Robin Hood. How in the blazes did he survive?
Dr. Magnet, large meteorite approaching.
In ahead, a fine stroke of luck. X-Magnetic beam on meteorites. Ground them as a collision course with Robin Hood's ship.
Ready. Fire!
The communication system is destroyed and we're headed for planet Earth. And this wheel is broken.
Did you ever have one of those days?
Robin, interplanetary police convoy coming at us.
Just a minute.
What's going on?
The ship is broken.
What's going on?
The ship is broken.
What's going on?
The ship is broken.
What's going on?
The interplanetary police convoy coming at us.
Just the people I wanted to see.
They'd better get out of our way. We can't navigate.
Captain Scott, Captain Scott, spaceship dead ahead coming straight at us.
Looks like he's trying to break up the convoy so he can pick us up one by one.
Well, we'll see about that.
Convoy, convoy, ready all rockets.
Train on approaching spacecraft.
Fire! Fire!
Rocket Robin Hood spaceship already disabled is now being subjected to a withering bombardment.
Can Robin Hood and the very man survive?
It seems impossible.
Who danger looms through outer space?
The villain stands up,
H to H with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the braniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
Mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come,
Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking,
then it's time for the one and only Fire Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Nott, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it, Fire Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite,
is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood,
in the fantastic years to come.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky,
so raise your voices, raise them high,
for Rocket Robin Hood!
Mistakingly, Captain, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I'm the only one who thinks that.
I'm not sure I'm the only one who thinks that.
Mistakingly convinced that Rocket Robin Hood is attempting to rob their convoy of its gold cargo,
the police mercilessly bombard his rapidly disintegrating spaceship.
They're waving a surrender flag.
Convoy ships one and two, lay back.
This may be a trick. I'm going alongside.
This is Captain Scott of the police. Cross over the boarding ramp.
No nonsense or I will blast you.
Robin Hood, I've been ordered to place you under arrest and take you to headquarters for questioning.
Why don't you question me right now? I've got some interesting answers for you.
Dr. Magnets behind the whole thing.
Dr. Magnets? I thought that old feet was dead.
Very much alive. We discovered his secret.
A powerful magnetic unit contained in his ship capable of lifting gold or other precious metals from any planet at great distances.
I seem to be the only one with a plan that will enable us to protect this gold, recover the rest, and capture the real criminal.
All right. Won't cost me anything to listen.
Twenty billion dollars worth of gold. I can almost taste it.
Three ship convoy sighted, sir. Low orbit, destination boom.
That's it. It's the gold convoy. Get within range quickly.
And on target, sir.
Prepare a blast. Just enough magnetic power to freeze their engines and fire again for an hour.
Leave the communication system open.
What was that?
That's what we were telling you about earlier.
Captain, the engines and the weapon systems are both dead.
What's going on here?
You're about to find out.
Captain, this is rocket Robin Hood.
If I went around giggling like that, I'd have been arrested long ago.
Please cooperate with me, Captain. I want that gold shipment. Your ship is powerless.
So please spare me the bother of blasting you out of the sky.
Release the gold to my magnets, and you may go free.
What do I do?
Do as he says. Then I take over.
All right, you win. What do you want me to do?
A wise decision, Captain. Open the starboard hatchets and load the crates of gold on the platform.
My magnet will do the rest.
Now wait, Robin. Reversing the magnetic pull is only a theory of mine. You're taking too big a chance.
I think I'll take the next bus.
Be careful, Robin, and be sure to maintain radio contact.
See you later, I hope.
Hurry, Robin. Switch the antenna before those doors close, or the reverse polarization could blow the entire ship apart.
And you win it.
What's happening? My gold! My precious gold!
This can't be! I won't permit it!
Oh no! Not my last crate of gold!
You can't do this to me!
Help!
Robin, come in, Robin. What is happening?
Everything's A-OK, Friar. Send over a boarding party and tell the Captain he's going to have plenty of company on the trip back to Earth.
It wasn't Rocket Robinhood at all. It was a man called Dr. Magnet. I not only saved this shipment, but I found out where the rest of the loot is hidden.
Well done, Colonel Scott.
Colonel? Me? Colonel Scott, eh?
That's right, Scott. You're a good arman.
Well, General, you see, there were a few fellows that helped me out on this job. Not a lot, you understand, but they did help, and it seems they lost a spaceship in the closest, and so I sort of promised them...
Scott? What do you think this is? A used spaceship what?
Those things cost money. If you can't handle a simple assignment, well, I'll just wander in that apartment and find a pure and the wrong visit. Good day. Captain Scott.
Captain Scott, eh? Oh, well, it was nice to be a Colonel while it lasted.
Ha ha ha ha!
The villain thinks he has us now, he'll soon be on the run. Our systems now, are they OK? The battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men lie up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Nott, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well, he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood. Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the sky at the sight of Robin Dickerstand. With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout through what the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any bolder. Sound the horn in every astral glen.
We're running round on every man we stand with Robin to the end. The joys of freedom to defend is the place to be on the side of the free Rocket Robin Hood.
Run, gather around me, space travelers, surround me, hark now to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets raise here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather. With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the sky at the sight of Robin Dickerstand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout through what the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near a distant star to the sound of the galaxy horn.
We rally round Rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born. Oh, we're styling forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home with Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood
Look, look, the trees are walking.
You sent up an SOS, why?
It's obvious the menace is baffling even you, Dr. Manta. If Planeton is to survive, I think we'll have to look elsewhere for help.
But way out there in space, who do you suppose will even notice your message?
Quick, give me a reading. Where did it come from?
Wait Robin, don't try to investigate alone. Come back!
Friar, since when do we pass up a distress call? But you're all the way out near that green planet, Planeton, and low on fuel already.
Planeton eh?
Robin, listen to reason!
Forget it Friar, I've got friends on that planet and looks as if they need help.
So he's coming to help the Planetons, is he?
Yes, Igor. This meddling Rocket Robin Hood seems determined to stop us before we finish our work.
Your instructions, Dr. Manta.
Finish him off the usual way.
The walking trees are good.
But first, let him see old King Planetot. Yes, let's get them both. Are the pets well fed?
They walk tonight.
Good. Soon this great planet will be mine alone.
Well, what is it? Speak up, E-Boy.
Spacecraft approaching, Your Worship.
Spacecraft is it?
Aye, I knew it, Plum. Quick, trade the transmitter. Let's find out if it's who I think it is.
This is Rocket Robin Hood calling King Planetot.
Oh, Rocket Robin Hood, glory be it is you! Sure now you must have read our SOS.
Yes, Your Majesty. Now tell me, what could be happening on that peaceful little planet of yours?
Aye, me boy, a menace has befallen since you were here. A great dark turbo menace that appears during the night to the full moon.
Sound the stimulator. Unleash my menace.
Oh, these things only began after that weird Dr. Manta came to this planet to kill the aliens.
We think he's involved in some mighty strange experiments there in those woods.
Well, I think we better pay your strange Dr. Manta a visit.
Strange am I? Wait till you get into my woods, Rocket Robin Hood, then you'll see something really strange.
What's that? I was about to ask you the same question.
Great giant dinosaurs!
Wait, don't fail me now! Robin!
Hello, Branch?
Get them, destroy them, get him!
Boxed in!
Yes, it looks as if Robin is out of running room. Unless something happens fast, our friends seem certain to fall into the clutches of Dr. Manta's monsters.
The countdown's started, trouble's loose. But have no fear, we cannot lose. We're Rocket Robin Hood.
Green Planet Planeton, which is locked in the grip of a sinister menace. Robin and the King are ambushed as the slumbering trees come to life in the form of great giant dinosaurs.
I'd say we're in a hot spot.
Let's make it hotter.
Go!
All gone.
A brilliant demonstration, me lad.
So, there is Dr. Manta's castle. Hmm, an imposing place.
Imposing, is it? I bet it's full of ghosts.
Shall we see?
Right home.
No ghosts, my supreme king, but we'll have some surprises for you to be sure of.
Go to the door, Igor. I'll welcome them to my parlor.
Come, end door.
Friendly sword, isn't it?
Gives me the creeps.
Ah, your majesty. What a pleasant surprise. We never get visitors here.
I'd like you to meet me friend, Rocket Robin Hood.
Welcome to our troubled planet.
Oh yes, Robin, here to deal with the menace. And already this morning, he's bested four of the ugly brutes.
Four of the music. That's quite a feat. It's a shame you weren't here last night when that farm was attacked.
Yes, isn't it? Doctor, can you explain how the trees in the surrounding forest attain such enormous size and weird shapes?
I'm afraid I am responsible. You see, I was attracted to this planet by the great nitronic energy in its soil.
I was attempting to develop a super form of edible plant life, but my experiments ran afoul somewhere along the line.
Was it really edible plant life you were after, or did you actually set out to create an animal-vegetable mutant that could change from a tree to a ferocious dinosaur?
Why would I or anyone else want to do that?
To destroy the planetons and take over the entire planet for yourself.
Why do you accuse me?
Only his majesty, myself, and the victims knew of last night's attack on the farm. The only other person who could have known is the man who arranged it.
You're lying!
It's all right, Igor. We need have no secrets from our friends now. Gentlemen, will you step outside? I have something to show you.
Would you look at the size of their mushrooms!
Quite a garden, doctor.
Please save your compliments. You see nothing yet.
Great, Goffinst! What is this?
I just wanted to show you, Rocket Robin Hood, that your guesswork was amazingly accurate.
Hmm, I wish I'd been wrong.
You must see them perform.
They behave just like robots.
Precisely. Their antennae cause them to react instantly to the soft waves. Watch closely.
Suppose that had been the wall surrounding Mound City.
You're a demon! That's where you are, a demon!
Remove your hands from his majesty!
I'll show you where you are, Rocket Robin Hood. As a matter of fact, stay exactly where you are.
Many thanks for delivering King Planet up to me. With him in my possession, Mound City will open its gates before my Triceratops army without so much as an argument.
I wouldn't be too sure of that.
As for you, I hope you won't become bored down there.
I suggest you study the interesting floral display.
How long can Rocket Robin Hood continue to evade the deadly rays of the monstrous spider crab? Will he ever escape the web of the fiendish Dr. Manta?
No danger looms through outer space. The villain stands up, face to face, with Rocket Robin Hood.
The strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John, the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
The most powerful and most powerful alien in the entire galaxy, the mighty cosmic Hercules, the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
The enemy of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come, Little John.
The arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Nott, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood. Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
The villain thinks he has us now, he'll soon be on the run. Our systems now are A-OK, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood. For Rocket Robin Hood.
Trapped in a pit beneath the vicious Dr. Manta's castle, Rocket Robin Hood must first escape the clutches of the deadly spider crab, before he can think of rescuing the doomed people of Planeton.
Let's see how you act with your receiver out of tune.
Hmm, that's interesting.
Now to see what's going on at Mount City.
Planetons of Mount City, surrender and be my slaves.
You know from bitter experience, my monsters are indestructible. Should you resist, your puny efforts will be rewarded with a horrible end for you all, as well as an instant death for your king.
Planetons, listen to me. Dr. Manta must be resisted. Sue with me dying, Griff. Your king has season to fight on.
I'd hope for a miracle.
What should we do?
Surrender?
We must save the king.
But we can't.
Look, up there.
It's Robin Hood. We're saved.
Big boy, you were magnificent.
No time to talk now. Where's your power station?
She's over there.
Have some men report to me at once.
That wretched Robin Hood. He's made his last meddling move. Attack. Spare no one.
Now you've got it straight. When I give you the word, you give me full power.
Don't worry. When I throw that switch on, you'll get plenty of juice, all right.
Good.
The monsters, all the monsters are coming.
All right, let them come. We'll give them a hot reception.
Get him. Get him. Him with a puny bow.
Now, full power.
Well, there he goes. I've got the feeling you've seen the last of Dr. Manta and his menace.
He seems to be in such a terrible hurry.
Now, do you think he didn't like auto-resurrection?
Might say he was shocked.
Dear Robin's men, we rule the sky. So raise your voices, raise them high for Rocket Robin Hood.
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John,
despot ruler of the National Outer Space Terrestrial Territories. With the help of the wicked Sheriff of Knott,

With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any colder, sound the horn in every astral plane.
We're early round, on air event, we stand with Robin to the end. The joys of freedom to demand,
is the place to be on the side of the free with Rocket Robin Hood.
Come.
Come gather around, these space travelers surround me, heart now to the valley of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Blast off!
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, to rally round Rocket Robin Hood.
Robin Hood braver man has never been born, so we sally forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward hope, with Rocket Robin Hood.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
A cosmic storm, the greatest concentration of free energy in the known universe.
Matter and antimatter meet and negate as the very fabric of space is torn apart. Planets are wrecked and sent spinning out of their orbit. The shock waves travel through null space. Their secondary effects are beyond comprehension.
Life on some planets is altered, on others it is threatened.
Meteors are sent flying in all directions, not even sure what asteroid is safe. On Sherwood asteroid, the merry men work feverishly to prevent disaster.
What's behind it all? Spatial analysis indicates the storm is artificial. It's being deliberately caused. What? By who? Brace yourself.
The master computer has indicated that two of our old friends are behind it. Nocturne and Matter. They've teamed up and are operating from within the antimatter universe.
One of them has a force projector of incredible strength and is using it to cause the storm. Which one has it? That's the trouble. We don't know.
Then it looks like I'll have to be projected into their universe and find out. It's risky, Robin. What choice have we? If we don't stop that projector, they'll destroy our universe. Call a general meeting. I'm going to need help.
So, that's the story, eh? Sure, I'll go with Robin. Good, I was hoping you would. With both Will and I together in the antimatter universe, we've a better chance of survival.
I don't know. I still think I should come with you, too. You're our reserve, Little John. Will's right. The Friar and you will remain here, using the computer to track us.
If one of us gets into trouble, Friar Tuck can project him back here. Then, using the chamber, project Little John into the antimatter universe. Now, let's go.
All right. But remember, don't depend on us. The chamber isn't too reliable and the storm might affect its operation. We'll have to chance it. Just keep the computer locked on us and stay alert, Little John. You're our ace in the hole.
Good luck, Robin. I'll send Will right after you. Check. In a few seconds, the fun will start.
Right place, right universe. That's Manna's castle up ahead. And we don't even know if he's got the projector. Let's find out. Just watch for surprises.
Fire! Fire!
Fire! Fire! Project us out of here!
Something's wrong. No response. Those snakes are getting closer.
Do something, Friar. I can't. The blasted storm, I can't get them back. I was afraid of this. The storm has shorted the chamber. We can't pull them back until the chamber's recharged.
Will Robin and Will be trampled by the stone elephants, or will they plunge to the bottomless gorge? Do they have a choice?
The countdown's started, trouble's loose. But have no fear, we cannot lose. We're Project Robin Hood.
Oh, it's all over. What will we do? What will we do?
I don't know. Wait. Listen. They're all right, but we can't establish visual contact. The televisor's blown for good.
How much longer until the chamber's recharged? It'll be ready in a few minutes.
Rocket Robin, how did he get here? No, our plan shall not be destroyed. We shall conquer! Igor, the gargoyles!
They're in trouble. The chamber's recharged. We can get one of them back now. Get Will, quick.
Are you all right? Yes. Where's Robin? Still back there. We can pull him out once the chamber's recharged. The storm has permanently weakened it. It has to recharge after every use. We'll have to wait a few minutes at least.
He's on land now, going toward the castle. Says he'll try to get to the roof where the projector might be.
The chamber's charged. I can pull him back anytime now. Good. He's on the roof, looking for the projector.
No sign of the cosmic projector. I'm not going to take any chances, though. I've found Manta's private nuclear-armed ships. I...
So, Rocket Robin knows I don't have the projector. He'll pay for that knowledge. Oh, he'll pay. I'll take him with me. Nothing must stop the plan. Nothing! Let him feel the crushing might of the mountain monster! Great, Jupiter!
Don't pull me out! Wait for my signal! I've come to set off that nuclear ship first!
Now! Fire! Get ready immediately to send Little John and me back! Manta didn't have the projector. Knock them next.
All right, Robin. Good luck!
Nothing happened.
Hey, what gives?
Well, let's face it. The chamber's projecting circuits are out for good. That last storm charge finished. We can't send. Only pull.
If Robin were in the empty Manta universe, we could get him out. But we can't project him in. What'll we do?
Only one thing we can do. Get there the hard way. I want the lightest, fastest ship available. A one-man scout.
You're not going alone.
I have to. The lighter the ship, the faster I can go.
But where are you going, anyway?
Right into the eye of the storm. If it's being projected from the other universe, that's where I'll intercept the energy beam. Once it hits me, I'll be thrown into the other universe.
I'll follow it to its source. Just remember one thing. You can pull me out. So don't, unless it's absolutely necessary.
Because once I'm back here, we'll have to outfit a new ship and start all over again. Now let's get moving.
Hello, Sherwood. I've made it through the eye of the storm. Nocturne's world is below. I'm going in.
Yes, this is the place, all right.
Rocket Robin Hood! My poor friend Manta warned me he'd be coming. Boost projector power!
Let that arrow shooter pay for what he did to Manta! Let him feel the storm's effect even here!
Let the radiation crystallize the very shadow! She blows!
If Little John and Friar Tuck are shaken by the storm's secondary effects, what's happening to Robin? Directly exposed to the antimatter radiation.
Oh, danger looms through outer space, so fill in stands of H-2-8 with Rocket Robin Hood!
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John, the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.

But don't you believe it, Friar Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood in the fantastic years to come.
Though villain thinks he has the scow, he'll soon be on the run. Our systems now are very okay, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men lie up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Attempting to destroy the Cosmic Storm Projector, Robin has landed on Nocturne's planet, and Nocturne has increased the projector power, cutting Robin off from Little John and Friar Tuck.
Can we switch to emergency power?
We're on it now, but it's no use.
Oh, what's happening to Robin?
The Cosmic Storm Projector.
Well, do I fight for my life or do I fight for my life?
Or thank you for saving it?
On the contrary, sir. It's we who thank you.
You've finally given us the means to end Nocturn's madness once and for all.
What do you mean?
You flew here. You flew.
The one secret our civilization never discovered.
The secret of flight.
For only by air is Nocturn vulnerable.
The one method of attack an underground civilization cannot use.
It's no use, little John.
The chamber is inoperable. The storm is just too powerful.
Then if Robin can't get to us, let's go to him.
I say we rig up another ship and...
Too late for that. The storm has increased to magnitude ten.
Any ship leaving the solar system would be torn to pieces before it got within 30 light years of the storm's eye.
Then all we can do is wait.
What's your plan, sir?
I'll lead an attack by air myself. We're going to fly like the bats.
I'll build three jetpacks. You construct some bat costumes.
Robin may be alive underground, but that will do him little good.
Once the miserable little vermin on this planet are extinguished,
then my base of operations will be known only to myself.
And I will plunder the universe.
Those bats. Since when do bats fly by day?
Even if it is a stormy day.
The Rainmaker himself.
No, no, I control the storms. I will not be stopped.
Stormy days are over.
Please, the rain brings me flowers.
You like flowers, don't you Robin? Here, have a flower.
Pick that flower, quick.
All right, kitty, have some milk.
Ah, clear skies are coming.
We've got full power.
Throw the switch, bring him back.
Ah, I can see those clear skies. My job's finished.
I'm going home.
We're Robin's men, we rule the sky. So raise your voices, raise them high for Lockett, Robin Hood.
Our enemy of Lockett-Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant Prince John,
despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Knott, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day
when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well, he might, if it were not for Lockett-Robin Hood.
Lockett-Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather,
with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth,
beyond the skies at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Robin, Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, not there to fight us, none we're any older,
sound the horn in every astral glen.
We're running round on every man, we stand with Robin to the end.
The joys of freedom to defend, is the place to be on the side of the free with Rockett,
Robin Hood.
Come, gather around me, space travelers, surround me,
hark now to the ballad of Rockett-Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our Rockett's rays hear from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
One, blast off!
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather,
with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth,
beyond the skies at the side of Robin, take your stand with the gallant hero of man.
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rockett, Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born,
to rally round Rockett-Robin Hood, braver man has never been born.
So we sally forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home with Rockett-Robin Hood.
We rock with Rockett-Robin Hood.
A sinister space yacht prowls the galaxy as four men, all dedicated to evil,
plot to rid the universe of its greatest force for good.
One man and one alone stands between us and joint control of the universe.
That man has been a stumbling block to our plans for the last time.
We are sworn then that Rockett-Robin Hood will be eliminated.
Better blank, Mr. Cool, Laser, and we are sworn.
The ring of the sacred dragon binds you to your oath.
Hold out your hand.
What no one man has been able to do, we four will succeed in doing.
Your plans for his death are excellent.
Tonight is the beginning of the end of Rockett-Robin Hood and all who follow him.
Broadway, to see who shall have the privilege of being the first to try.
Better blank.
With my latest adventure, I will lower Rockett-Robin Hood from fear when I destroy him.
Three o'clock.
One may as well contact control.
There's nothing to report.
Nothing is right.
I'm right. Seeing things are.
It just vanished.
Hold up.
Flash an interplanetary alert.
What's happening?
Don't have stupid questions. Flash that alert.
That ought to bring Rockett-Robin Hood running.
And if that doesn't, today is where.
A whole mountain disappeared and a forest.
Judging from the report, the whole planet is vanishing into thin air.
I'll let you know when we get there.
Should be right about here.
Prepare to put down.
Robin, straight ahead. A skywarp.
The controls are frozen.
There's a heavy pull coming from somewhere.
I can't avoid collision.
Shouldn't we be doing something?
Relax and leave the flying to them.
I have a feeling that whoever is behind what's been happening is waiting for us.
I have a feeling that whoever is behind what's been happening is waiting for us at the end of the line.
Like a fly, like a fly.
The hoods, stand by to receive prisoners.
Come out with your hands over your heads.
That's you. Someone sent a welcoming committee.
I wonder who.
Welcome to the planet, plotto gentlemen.
Your rooms are ready.
Rather cramped quarters, wouldn't you say?
I told you we should have made a reservation.
Isn't it a little dark in here?
Allow me to introduce myself, your host, Baron Blank.
He certainly is.
Let's not waste words, gentlemen.
You have very little time to live.
The wreck, or, and this death would be absolutely painless, the eraser.
Decide, gentlemen.
Decisions, decisions.
I will leave you alone with your troubles for exactly one minute.
And do not be so foolish as to think you can escape.
Decide wisely, my friends.
I believe he said one minute.
That should be long enough to do what we have to do.
Any ideas?
Say, Will, what do you make of that?
I've never seen anything like it in my life.
Fantastic.
Unbelievable.
What's he doing now?
Let's not scare it away.
That leaves us 30 seconds.
To do what?
To figure out how this works.
Let's see what happens if we do this.
We know. Come on.
I thought it might have been you should watch him die.
I've even let him decide how he is to meet his end.
It will be interesting to see which death he chooses.
Switch me to the torch.
How's our prisoner?
I'll ask him when he comes to.
One down and two to go.
Rocket Robin Hood is playing right into my hands.
You wanted him to capture Baron Blank.
Tongue does not understand.
You will, Tongue. You will.
Approaching Sherwood. Contact security.
Making contact.
Pull out, Robin. Pull out.
I can't. The controls are gross and solid.
I won't make Baron Blank's mistake.
Certain.
How will Rocket Robin Hood escape from his prison of solid ice?
Will Mr. Cool succeed where Baron Blank failed?
Outwitted the sinister Baron Blank that he was caught in a surprise attack by the diabolical Mr. Cool
who had encased Robin's spaceship in a cocoon of solid ice.
I will not make the mistake of the others who have had you in their power.
They underestimated your ability to escape them.
I will not.
This is one trap Rocket Robin Hood will not spring.
Robin, look at the thermometer.
100 below.
We can't survive this temperature much longer.
What's still working?
Radar's knocked out. Communication system's gone.
The only thing that still works is the heat shield.
That'll have to do.
The gravity pole will smash us on the next planet.
If we cross these wires and plan to reverse the action of the heat shield,
maybe we can raise the temperature inside the ship enough to melt the ice caking.
The whole ship's going.
We can stand the heat long enough and if the ice melts quick enough,
then too many hips are coming.
It's cracking. The ice is cracking.
And the controls are fine.
And from now on, if anyone asks me if I believe in miracles, the answer is yes.
We'll need another miracle to get what's left of the ship back to Sherwood.
We better put down on that planet for repairs.
You're round, Rocket Robin Hood, but do not think you have won.
There.
Well, I think she ought to hold together till we get back to Sherwood.
Where are we?
The planet seems to be uninhabited.
Must be in the frigid zone.
Strange, I didn't feel the cold before.
But now that you mention it, it seems to be getting colder and colder.
Let's get out of here.
Hold it, Will. Look at the temperature reading.
One thousand below.
Any ideas on what's causing the temperature drop?
Someone is tampering with the laws of nature.
And I detect the icy hand of our old enemy, Mr. Cool.
That would account for the sudden ice formation on our ship.
Nothing can save you now, Rocket Robin Hood.
Try it now, Will.
How's our passenger?
Still sleeping like a babe.
What cause, Robin?
Straight ahead for Mr. Cool's planet, Frigida.
Frigida, I plan to make things hot for him.
When I get this focus properly, the magnified rays of the sun will evaporate Frigida like a snowball in an oven.
Unless Mr. Cool sees things our way.
Surrender, Mr. Cool, or the sun trap will melt your whole planet.
Never!
Never is a long, long time, Mr. Cool.
All right, all right. You win, Rocket Robin. You win. Turn off the sun trap.
Did Mr. Cool really believe he was a match for Rocket Robin Hood?
Your sacredness is pleased at his fear.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Have Razor summoned.
Tong tells me Mr. Cool has also failed. Rocket Robin Hood will not be so lucky with me.
Your plan must not fail, Razor.
I have sworn in by the ring of a sacred dragon.
Yes, it is a foolproof plan.
Or should we say a Rocket Robin Hood proof plan.
And when it touches down on Sherwood?
Of course, Baron Blank and Mr. Cool will have to die with them.
That's the price they pay for failure.
Distress signal. There's a ship in trouble.
There it is now. Start beaming down.
There she is. Straight ahead.
Stand by for magnetic tow.
Tow line secure.
Notify ship. Then head for Sherwood.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
You were right, Razor. It was a foolproof plan.
The instant Rocket Robin Hood touches down on Sherwood.
Boom.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Will the fiendish Razor succeed where Baron Blank and Mr. Cool have failed?
Is his deadly plan really Rocket Robin Hood proof?
The countdown started. Trouble crews will have no fear. We cannot lose.
Cry for help. Not realizing that the distressed spaceship is in reality a laser bomb.
Triggered to go off the instant it sets down on Sherwood.
Sherwood below. Radio radar control.
Just another few minutes, XLC and Rocket Robin Hood and all of Sherwood will be blown to kingdom come.
The sacred dragon will not be ungrateful.
Try the distressed ship again, Will. Maybe they've repaired the receiver.
Hello. Hello, distressed ship. Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Use Robin, their electrical power's out.
Wait a minute, Will. Turn on our receiver again.
That's strange. They're still sending a distress signal.
But they must know we've affected rescue.
Exactly. Unless... Unless what?
Radio radar control. We're not putting down.
Where are we going?
I think I'll take a little walk.
So your plan was foolproof. You're no better than the rest of the fools Robin has outsmarted.
I am not finished with the Miat-Excellency. I still have this.
Well, what are you waiting for? Quickly before he can return to Sherwood Asteroid, where you'll never find him.
He's only a few minutes away from here by rocket.
You have a second to lose.
Your sacredness seems pleased.
Everything is working to plan, Tom.
We shouldn't have long to wait, Will. Whoever's behind this knows exactly where we are.
Don't move. I said don't move. Put your hands up. Move your head.
Laser.
You know me then.
Let's say I've heard of you.
Then you know my powers.
I know that steel finger of yours has a built-in laser ray, if that's what you mean.
Exactly. The only reason I don't kill you right now is that I want to give the Warlord of Saturn the pleasure of watching you die in person.
If you have any last requests, I said just make them now.
My arms are getting a little tired. May I take them down?
What difference does it make?
A big difference to you.
I'm afraid, my finger-happy friend, that your laser ray is useless to you now.
You can't see it, but your hand is encased in a film of solidified Moonite.
Moonite? Even that thin coating is enough to seal your ray. Try again if you don't believe me.
Ow! My strength is out of ten, men.
Save it. You're going to need it. Will Scarlet's arrow is as swift and deadly as any laser.
Right into my hands. Right into my hands.
What are you going to do with them, Robin?
The worst thing we could do to them is to let them go.
Let them go? Baron Blank, Mr. Cool, laser?
They have failed in their sworn oath to kill me. I don't imagine the Warlord of Saturn will like that.
But maybe next time.
There'll be no next time. I can keep Baron Blank in line with the threat of the eraser.
The Sun Trap will make Mr. Cool behave himself.
And laser will make Mr. Cool die.
The Sun Trap will make Mr. Cool behave himself. And laser is powerless while his hand is encased in Moonite.
Return their possessions and give them an armed escort to the next planet.
Well, I know you know what you're doing, but I wish you wouldn't do it.
Let me see that. Really sparkles, doesn't it?
Just like a diamond. Isn't it a diamond?
No, little John. A diamond this size would have bounced lightly when it hit the table.
This is a much heavier substance. My guess is solidified nitroflex, cut and faceted to look just like a diamond.
Nitroflex? Why would anyone want to carry that around?
Why even a speck that big is enough to blow up a mountain?
And six of them would have enough explosive power to blow up Sherwood and everybody on it.
I am going to release you, but before I do, I think you'll be interested in how the Warlord of Saturn was planning to reward you for your loyalty.
The three Dragon Rings you wore are in that rocket ship.
And as soon as it reaches a reasonably safe altitude, Will Scarlet is going to show you a trick with that detonating device he's holding.
What do you think, Will?
I think that's far out enough. Watch closely, gentlemen.
If you'd still been wearing those rings, you would have been blown up along with Sherwood.
I can see from the expression on your faces that you are beginning to put one and one together.
And they're all getting the same answer.
The Warlord of Saturn!
And now, gentlemen, your spaceship is waiting.
Saturn coming in clear, Robin.
So they failed, failed just as I knew they would.
And they think I would have divided my power among them.
No, no, my friends. You've got to give them the power.
Mr. Cool, Laser, you don't understand. I can explain everything.
Turn it off, Will, turn it off.
I can't stand to see a grown man cry.
Oh, danger looms through outer space. The villain stands up, edge to edge, with Rocket Robin Hood.
The strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John, the brawniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules, the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things, mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come, Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking, then it's time for the one and only Friar Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Knot, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it. Friar Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood, in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has us now, we'll soon be on the run. Our systems now are A-OK, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood, for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin Dickerstand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any bolder, sound the horn in every astral glen.
We rally round, our merry band, we stand with Robin to the end. The joys of freedom to defend, is the place to be on the side of the free with Rocket Robin's voice.
We gather around, these space travelers surround me, hark now to the band of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets raise here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin Dickerstand.
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, to rally round Rocket Robin Hood, brave man that's never been born.
So we're sallying forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Far out in space, in a solar system billions of miles from our own, is the great planet Thor.
There in the great cities people go about their lives very much as they do on earth.
But one shining autumn day they look up to the sky and see...
People of the planet Thor, I am your conqueror, Cosmulcarn.
It is your source of fight, for you are completely under my domination.
You are seeing my face by astral projection.
Remember it well, for it is the last thing you shall look upon.
For from this moment on, I bathe your planet in paralyzing rays.
Nothing moves, I'm Thor.
Now, blast them with the mega-miniaturizers.
Smaller, smaller, smaller, Cosmulcarn.
Continent, oceans, mountain ranges, cities, humanity,
shrunk to microscopic proportion, till indeed I hold the entire world in the palm of my hand.
Like a gem, the precious gem of Cosmulcarn.
This emergency session of the United Solar Systems is now in session.
We are meeting today to discuss the extraordinary disappearance of the planet Thor.
Now, ha ha ha, discuss!
Discussion will get you nowhere.
The planet Thor is mine.
Unless you, the leaders of the universe, capitulate,
unproclaim Cosmulcarn, supreme warlord, and imperial ruler,
I will destroy the planet and its steaming billions as easily as another man would crack a walnut.
Ha ha ha ha!
You have three days, gentlemen.
Three days to make your decision.
Ha ha ha ha!
Hold it, Robin.
What's that?
Looks like a robot carrier pigeon.
Hey, I haven't seen one of those things in years.
Why would anyone bother with an antique like that?
Maybe the message is too secret to be broadcast.
It's from the United Solar Systems.
They grant us amnesty as outlaws and ask us to report at once for an urgent assignment.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Our one hope is to steal back the tiny planet before our three days are up.
There's only one group in the entire universe deft enough to pull off such a job.
And that's why we've called upon you and the Merry Men.
Heist the whole planet?
Wow!
Cosmulcarn's home asteroid is called Xanador.
It is more than a billion miles from here.
And so you will be transported there by our Swiftus rocket, capable at twice the speed of light.
Of course, Kahn would be suspicious of any ships entering his immediate vicinity.
So our scientists have worked around the clock.
And using the principle of the robot carrier pigeon, they've come up with a giant robot bird,
similar in appearance to the giant Korgel bird, native to Xanador.
When you get within 100,000 miles of Xanador, the robot bird will be released.
From then on, gentlemen, you're on your own.
The fate of the free universe rests in your hands.
Ah, me. I always did enjoy riding in birds.
Of course, last year's models had more style.
We're almost there. Prepare for landing.
All set.
They're on to us.
No, they're only hunters, out after a juicy Korgel bird for supper.
You mean all of a sudden weird game?
Now you know how the wild boar feels.
Oh, I've lost control. This bird's had it.
Is the fate of the universe doomed because of a band of simple hunters?
Or can Robin pull out in time?
The countdown's started. Trouble crews will have no fear.
We cannot lose with Rocket Robin Hood.
The planet Thor and stole it.
The United Solar System's assigned Rocket Robin Hood to steal it back.
But upon reaching the Xanador asteroid, Robin's craft, disguised as a native bird,
is shot down by hunters.
Use the anti-gravity charges on your belts. We'll jump for it.
Now?
No, not yet. We'll be seen.
I'll give the signal.
That hill's hiding us. Now, the only way to travel.
Here come the hunters.
We've got to destroy the robot bird. It would give us away.
This integrator arrow should do the trick.
Ah me, she was a nice old bird.
We're really on our own now.
Down! Here come the hunters.
Poor fellas, they'll go hungry tonight.
Well, there's Cosmo Khan's fortress.
I'll bust down those gates with my two hands.
Our job is to steal back the tiny planet, not smash heads together. Come on.
How do we get over the wall?
We don't. We go under it. Now move in close. Use your disintegrating rays and dig.
At this rate, the tunnel won't be done for a year.
Keep at it, little at a time.
Just be thankful Friar Tuck's not with us.
Here comes the guard again. Douse the tools.
Just let me bash that character a good one. Dig.
Well, we're inside the wall, and look what's ahead.
A moat.
Now to get across the moat.
We've already built a tunnel.
What now, a bridge?
We're going for a swim.
I hope your space suit is shrink-proof.
Ford, our master.
About time. We go.
There you are, my little gem.
Spinning very away in your artificial atmosphere.
A mere tiny little crush-through and your billions of people.
But have no fear. No one can get past your protective tube of electro-energy.
How do we get through that? We don't. We go over it.
Shh.
I'm getting sleepy.
He's asleep. Now's our chance.
We're right over it. You're the best fisherman, little John.
Easy now.
Easy, easy. If that string touches the electric wall, we've had it.
Now lift her. Carefully.
We got it. What was that noise?
Go. You up there. Stop. Cops.
Makes to the window, Will.
Will the tiny planet of Thor be smashed when it might have been rescued?
No danger looms through outer space. The villain stands up, face to face, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is little John, the granniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This deliant of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules, the brute force of an unleashed meteor, combined with a truly super weapon, the Electro Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
The greatest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come, little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking, then it's time for the one and only Fire Tuck to come to the rescue.
Like the wicked sheriff of Knot, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it.
Fire Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood in the fantastic years to come.
The villain thinks he has his cow, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are a-okay, the battle shall be won. So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood and his men finally get inside the mighty fortress of Cosmo Con. Then, just when they've retrieved the tiny planet Thor, they're discovered, and the planet is knocked from Will's grasp.
What did you do, Robin?
Shot an ankle in the wall.
Where did that glass water come from?
The lump runs along the wall.
Robin!
Johnny's swimming toward the sphere!
This way!
Thor found the strongest Cosmo Con!
The great Con! I'll come my way, ape.
Anything you say, monkey.
Get it, Robin!
Got it!
Oh, thousand curses on you!
Take care of him, little John.
Now, let's get out of here.
Oh, let me finish him off.
No, here come more guards!
Use the anti-gravity charges in your belts. There still ought to be enough energy to get us out of here.
Bigots! Dolts! Puzzles! Asteroids!
How are we going to get off this asteroid, Robin?
I think there's our answer.
I'll blast you out of the skies! You and the planet Thor!
Grab onto my legs!
Well, in the name of Mars, are those devils!
Just in time, my anti-gravity blaster gave out.
So did mine. This way.
Well, are they here? They can't have disappeared!
Where are they?
Well, Cosmo, I'll give you three guesses.
Rock is Robin holding it right the first time.
Stand back, one false move, and you disappear.
Down on your knees, dogs!
Oh, Fowler, you just don't impress me anymore.
We're placing you under arrest.
You know, I feel just like the Sheriff of Nantes.
You see here, I have the last laugh.
That was the expander activator. In just four hours, the planet of Thor will explode up to full size.
Well, it's going to get crowded in this cabin.
If this happens anyplace else but in a proper for-orbit, it will throw the entire universe off balance.
What's he talking about?
He's right. A full-size planet greening about without an orbit could cause massive astral collisions.
It could trigger the end of everything.
We've got to get this back to its proper orbit, and we've only four hours to do it.
Only a minute left, and almost a thousand miles to go.
You'll never make it.
The computer navigator indicates that we've reached the full orbit.
And not a second to spare.
Send it flying, little John.
Now, let's get out of here. In seconds, this space is going to be full of planet.
The planet was mine! Mine! I must get it back!
He slipped his helmet.
Made it with a full tenth of a second to spare.
After all that, I could use a little something to eat. My food pouch is still full. Help yourself.
Walnuts! Oh, I couldn't eat this. It may be somebody's planet.
The arch enemy of rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John,
despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Noght, the black prince plans for that terrible day
when he will destroy and conquer the entire planet.
Well, he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood. Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise.
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a sound of the
gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any bolder.
Sound the horn in every astral glen, we rally round, on every man, we stand with Robin to the end.
The choice of freedom to defend, is the place to be, on the side of the free, with Rocket Robin Hood.
Come, dander around me, space traveler, surround me, heart now, to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you, with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.
Watch now as our rockets raise here from afar, for now with our Robin we live on a star.
Band of brothers marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather, with fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise.
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies, at the sight of Robin, take your stand.
With the gallant leader of our band, send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
We come from near and distant star to the sound of the galaxy born, to rally round Rocket Robin Hood, braver man that's never been born.
So we sally forth against the foe, our band of brothers skyward home, with Rocket Robin Hood. With Rocket Robin Hood.
Far off in outer planetary space, the huge Sherwood space saucer circles the strange asteroid Korgor, preparing to land.
At the controls with Rocket Robin Hood are Colonel Horatio Spalding, the famed interplanetary explorer, and his assistant Gideon.
Suddenly...
Look, a welcoming committee.
Phantoms, the strange phantoms of Korgor. Then the legend must be true.
Phantoms? I knew that asteroid was haunted.
They're using some unknown electronic energy spheres.
It's black magic. They're ghosts, I tell you.
Well, let's see how they react to the force field repeller.
The sound of the rocket is heard.
Well, tell me, they just disappeared.
Not so astounding for ghosts.
That Gideon is enough to give you the woollies.
Colonel Spalding, if they were capable of traveling at a tremendous speed, it would give the impression of disappearing, wouldn't it?
Well, it's a possibility. However, the legend...
That attack knocked out our left stabilizing gyro core. We'll have to make a crash landing. Hang on.
Oh, my aching back.
Beautiful landing, Robin.
You're so well-patted, Friar, any landing is beautiful. Let's get out, look around.
So this is it, the haunted planet of Korgor. Ancient home of the oldest of space civilizations.
What destroyed them, Colonel?
Who knows? A war? Disease? It happened so long ago. Astro history does not record it.
What I know is that the ghosts of that civilization guard this planet, and they're not friendly to explorers.
That's just superstition.
Then why has every other expedition that's come here ended in disaster?
Up there, an avalanche heading this way.
It's the ghosts.
We'll be crushed.
Astral disintegrators are our only chance.
That was a warning. An omen from the ghosts.
Let's move on. We want to be well on our way before nightfall.
Where are we going first?
Well, first we must travel through the jungle of terrors.
Jungle of terrors is the right name for this place.
Miserable indeed.
But we've got to pass through it if we want to get to the ruins of the ancient royal city of Mendoza.
Do you really think Mendoza is as full of gold and jewels as the legends say?
If I didn't, I wouldn't have hired you to lead my expedition, Rocket Robin Hood.
I don't believe in placing lives in jeopardy without good cause.
Look!
Quick, Sam! I'm going under!
Pull harder!
I was tripped, Robin. A phantom hand tripped me up.
This jungle plant's alive!
It's crushing me!
It looks like the curse of the haunted asteroid is coming true.
Is Robin's expedition done for?
The Count Dumbstar did trouble cruise.
Well, have no fear, we cannot lose.
With Rocket Robin Hood.
Haunted asteroid of Corgor, Robin and his men fight off two attacks of phantoms.
Suddenly in the jungle of terrors, they are grabbed by living plants.
Run for it! I'll take care of Spaulding and Gideon!
Gideon! He's got the power!
He's got the power!
Gideon! He's gone!
Too late!
How could a plant act so swiftly?
But it did. Gideon is gone.
Yes.
What's that in your hand?
Then let's go.
The eerie Corgorn night.
It came quicker than I expected.
We can make camp here.
Robin, it's like hundreds of evil eyes looking down on us.
What in the name of Jupiter are they?
The terrible dwarf, Mabuzi.
What? Mabuzi?
Evil, supernatural, flying things.
Supposedly conjured up by the ghosts of Corgorn.
Glad I asked.
What are they doing?
They are attacking us.
Be careful of those
They are attacking us.
Be careful of those
They are not going to get me.
What are you doing?
Why you!
They are retreating. We have scared them away.
I want to get a closer look at one of them before they go.
Be careful of the freeze ray.
Throw it away. It's going to explode.
To put it in a word, that was a close one.
Looks like you lost your prize specimen.
I've got a piece of it. That's enough.
I'd say you were just about thawed.
Think you can move on?
Actually, I feel fine.
It's like instant air conditioning.
Look, that glow in the sky.
It's like a
The glow from the city of Medosa.
What we're seeking must be right over that next hill!
Come on!
Great rings of Saturn!
Will you get a look at that?
Mendoza!
The long-lost ghost city of Kogor!
Ancient home of the dead civilization.
But what makes it glitter and gleam so?
Gold! Gold and jewels!
The treasures of a thousand galaxies!
No wonder there are demons after it.
Destroy the interlopers!
It looks like Rocket Robin Hood and his men are done for.
For how can mere humans defeat the terrible ghost ship Kogor?
Oh, danger looms through outer space.
The villain stands up, face to face
with Rocket Robin Hood!
Strongest member of Rocket Robin Hood's band is Little John,
the granniest spaceman ever to rocket through the cosmos in the fantastic years to come.
This Goliath of the galaxies has the might of a cosmic Hercules,
the brute force of an unleashed meteor,
combined with a truly super weapon,
the Electro-Porter Staff.
Little John, whose great strength is tempered with a simple, good-hearted kindness toward all living things.
Mightiest of Rocket Robin Hood's merry men in the amazing years to come,
Little John.
When the problems of Rocket Robin Hood call for heavy thinking,
then it's time for the one and only Friar Tuck to come to the rescue.
Some, like the wicked sheriff of Nott, think him fat, foolish, and not worth worrying about.
But don't you believe it.
Friar Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite,
is just one of the astounding heroes of the galaxy.
Friar Tuck, whose courage is as tremendous as his appetite, is just one of the astounding space characters
in the merry band of Rocket Robin Hood,
in the fantastic years to come.
Though Villain thinks he has us now, he'll soon be on the run.
Our systems now are very okay, the battle shall be won.
So watch our rockets roaring by as Robin's men light up the sky for Rocket Robin Hood.
For Rocket Robin Hood.
Just as they are about to enter the fabled ghost city of Midoza,
Rocket Robin Hood and his party are attacked by the Corgor Phantoms.
All are taken prisoner except Will and Rocket Robin.
Quick, back into the jungle of terrors, it's our only chance.
Got to get back and save others.
Look, another ghost.
A dinosaur skeleton.
It's alive, a movie.
Well, anyway, it's moving.
A laser blast arrow will prove whether you're a ghost or not.
Pretty solid by my reckoning.
You got it.
Yes, and look.
Filled with machinery.
Exactly, the so-called skeleton was nothing but a robot.
But why?
Everything here is phony.
Look, a wire from the man-eating plant, a piece of metal from the Mabusi.
They all were machines, not ghosts.
Now that you mention it, those phantoms felt pretty solid too.
Something human is at the bottom of all this.
Come on, let's get back to the so-called ghost city.
I think we'll find our answer there.
What's that?
An earthquake?
Sounds like heavy rocket motors to me.
Look.
Come on, Will, there's our answer.
That building is a space rocket freighter in disguise.
Quick, men.
Load the next ship.
Look at that, Will, another one.
Whoever that character in the clown face is, he's systematically looting the city of all its treasures.
And that's the reason for all the ghost stuff, to scare away everybody else.
Hey, look.
It looks like our team lost.
By the solar system, I must sit down.
Are you a ghost, Robin?
These are only costumes.
Now, here are the keys to those chains.
Get out of them and pay attention.
Okay, now let's stop playing masquerade.
You're all loaded. Blast off.
This is the pilot house. Something's wrong. The controls aren't functioning.
I've got to do everything myself.
Welcome to the party.
Rocket Robin Hood!
Gideon!
Dr. Gideon, isn't it?
Scientist from the planet Mercury.
You've had plastic surgery since the last time we met.
You're so smart.
The treasures of Medosa will make me richer than anyone in the universe.
And you're not going to stop me.
Men, attack!
Rocket Robin Hood is aboard!
Blast off!
Right, over and out.
The interplanetary police force are on quarter now.
They've put an end to your phantoms.
Are you taking me back to the police?
No, if we did that, they just might arrest us too.
So we're sending you to them, COD.
Hey, Gideon, watch out for ghosts.
Dear Robin's men, we rule the sky.
So raise your voices, raise them high.
For Rocket Robin Hood!
Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel space tyrant, Prince John.
Despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
With the help of the wicked sheriff of Knott, the Black Prince plans for that terrible day
when he will destroy and conquer the entire solar system.
Well, he might, if it were not for Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood, outlaw defender of right in the astounding years to come.
Band of brothers marching together, hands held high in all kinds of weather.
With fiery blasts our roaring rockets rise beyond the earth, beyond the skies.
At the sight of Robin, take your stand, with the gallant leader of our band.
Send a joyous shout throughout the land for Rocket Robin Hood.
Band of brothers shoulder to shoulder, none dare defy us, none were any bolder.
Sound the horn in every astral plane, we rally round.
On every bend, we stand with Robin to the end.

Oh we're sailing forth against the foe our band of brothers skyward home with Rockets Robin Hood.
With Rockets Robin Hood.
There comes a time in every man's life when ambition overcomes reason and on not Prince John is planning a birthday present for himself a present that can only mean disaster for Rockets Robin Hood and his band of merry men.
We've been fighting the Martians on and off for a hundred years now you've asked the meanest warlord of them all to the castle itself and you say we have nothing to fear.
Nothing they're Martian mercenaries paid soldiers who will fight for anyone for pay including their enemies.
Sir Colonel General Grohman.
I am here I will add this trip to the bill if I like the business together all together if not I take a little something when I leave.
You will like it and you'll be paid well you see I'm giving myself a birthday present.
A party.
A party yes and Rockets Robin Hood is the guest of honor.
You Colonel General will bring him here.
We don't be messengers we warriors.
No but you can be invaders.
Maybe I like this job maybe.
You and your men your entire fleet will sweep out of space.
I as protector of the realm will rush my fleet to repel you.
You will be destroyed.
Let me finish.
We will fight bravely but the odds will be great.
I will then send an emergency call to Robin Hood on Sherwood.
Whatever that may be and ask for his help.
Robin Hood being disgustingly dedicated to doing good will rush to my aid.
At a signal from me both our fleets will turn on the noble hood and his men and then I will have him.
And in time for my birthday.
Charming.
You sure you don't be part Martian.
You do it is dirty is unfair is crooked.
I do it.
Any news all quiet routine except the Prince John's preparing a great state celebration in honor of his birthday.
No school no work all play all laughing and singing and great praise to Prince John or else.
There's been nothing else on just announcements of Prince John and his birthday.
He's made sure everyone sends my present.
We should send a little something.
A little something just slightly explosive.
That way he won't feel forgotten.
He didn't invite us so I won't send him anything.
Musician report.
Anchors.
Roundable rising now.
See anything.
Several blips coming up.
Just keep your eye on it.
Those screens will show me the point in space where Robin Hood is placed sure with Astrid and when I know that he hasn't left yet.
Sire on my mark Martian fleet will be in view.
Two one mark.
I greet you.
Are you ready.
Prepared at all times.
For all things.
Are you.
I will give you the honor of the first shot.
I trust you are loaded with blank charges.
You shall see.
Ordinance.
Power guns.
Unlock.
Clear.
Screens down please.
Turn to 90 degrees our ships.
Salvo on each pass.
Starboard zepteres.
Group commanders.
Last.
Almost the real thing.
You didn't care to fight golden and anything more serious.
Keep your eyes on the screen.
Put me on emergency frequency.
Aye aye.
Calling.
Get Robin.
This is an intergalactic emergency.
Put me on.
A trick.
It could only be a trick.
We'll see.
Mayday has to be answered.
Robin Hood to Mayday.
Come in please reading you loud and clear.
What's your situation.
Under attack by Martian fleet.
Odds very heavy against us.
I'm holding them but that's all.
Imperative I have reinforcements.
Good riddance let the Martians have him.
Put me through your video relay.
Take my word.
I know better.
With the galaxy in mortal danger would I try to trick you.
Yes.
Put me on.
Switching now.
This is the view from the forward scanners.
That looks right Robin.
Shall I put you back in contact.
That looks like Prince John's main fleet out there.
Switch me over.
Give me your space coordinates.
I'll have them taped into the computers and we'll make it on main engines full out.
Coordinates being sent on command channel.
Robin Hood I appreciate this.
As you put aside our differences and fight for the safety of our galaxy.
I await your arrival.
You keep your eyes on that screen.
Retrace their course as soon as rocket Robin ships appear in range.
I want to know where sure it is.
And as soon as I find out I'll destroy him and his force forever.
This is the beginning of the end for Robin Hood.
Is it?
Can a twisted and fiendish plan like this really put an end to the only force that stands between Prince John and his wicked ambitions.
A countdown started trouble cruise.
But have no fear we cannot lose.
With rockets Robin Hood.
His fleet to help Prince John fight off an enemy that doesn't exist.
And in doing so he leaves Sherwood unprotected and at the mercy of the villain of not.
I've computed takeoff energy for maximum acceleration into your course Robin.
Good. I hate to leave you behind but I need someone here who can work the equipment and who can feed battle information into the computers.
And see if you can teach Giles something about the operation so that he might someday be of use to us.
All right.
I'm picking them up Sire.
Excellent.
Board the fastest cruiser we have.
You will go to Sherwood and you will occupy it and wait for further instructions.
It's a little sad not to be able to tell that rocket Robin Hood about this double cross right now.
But even I can't have everything.
Off you go.
Yes Sire.
All the ships on the line can be controlled from here.
This is the only way to fight. Nice and comfortable right.
I've set every rocket on the field for the point in space where the fight's going on.
If they were loaded with men all I'd have to do is throw this firing switch and they'd blast off.
Stand by coming up on the fleet.
Standing by and watch out for a tram.
Standing by and I second that motion.
Standing by and raring to go.
Gentlemen I thank you.
Calling Prince John. Robin Hood to Prince John.
Welcome Robin Hood.
Give us your battle plan. We'll follow your lead.
Indeed you will. First things first.
All ships cease fire.
All cease. Very peaceful.
It's a trick. Ready about all ships. Blank speed and out of here.
Before you leave Robin Hood he too will be blasted out of space.
I order you to surrender.
I would rather not.
Most unfriendly action Prince John.
I somehow feel you're not to be trusted Sire.
I have an easy range Robin. I can put a rocket through his ship right now.
I have gone through enough trouble to arrange this Robin.
Do as I say or a friend of yours will suffer the consequences first.
Please watch your battle screens.
You will note the situation. The sheriff has the girl.
My orders will be to eliminate the girl and blast your asteroid to dust along with your man.
I order you to surrender.
Gentlemen I can't order you to surrender.
Certainly not.
Unheard of.
We don't take orders like that.
Just ask Robin. That's all you have to do. Ask.
You win Prince John.
Of course I do. How gratifying to have such loyal men Robin Hood. I'm touched.
What do I do with the girl?
Ask them where their dungeon is.
Take it or not. We have just the perfect dungeon for her.
And the man?
In Giles. Think of something very nice. Use a little initiative sheriff.
The moral of the story Robin Hood is that your greatest mistake is doing good.
We prefer it our way.
That is why you're under guard.
Your great mistake is being too clever sometimes Prince John.
And good Robin shall triumph over evil Prince John.
That has been the general rule.
And I've changed the rules.
Just as I've changed the Martians they work for me. And I can do that.
I can do anything.
You are prepared now to change course position. Very careful. Sneaky.
All ships cover their targets. Unload blank rockets. Load with war rockets.
I would not be grodden the ghastly if I didn't take advantage of this very charming chance to double cross Prince John.
I could not live with myself. I take him and Rocket Robin Hood and be the ruler of night.
What can Robin do to stop grodden the ghastly now that he and his men are helpless prisoners of Prince John?
Now that he and his men are helpless prisoners of Prince John.

For Rocket Robin Hood.
Robin and his men have fallen into Prince John's trap.
And Golden the Gastly has decided to make Prince John's imaginary invasion into the real thing.
Doubling the danger to Robin and his men.
Communications report sir. Auxiliary raiding fleet waiting in static orbit for your command.
How nice. I am a terrible man. Prince John.
Sir, computer room reports unidentified mass on collision course this position.
Sir, a message from Colonel General Golden.
Tell the computer if it's so smart to find us another course and tell Golden I'll speak to him in a moment.
Problems?
It hurts me to see you so upset. I don't mind.
All I do is think of my birthday of how I'm going to celebrate it watching you be executed in some interesting way.
If I didn't take such great pleasure in hating you I could almost feel sorry for you.
He doesn't play fair. These chains won't break.
Golden, congratulations. A very successful operation.
Naturally, but we have not quite come to the end of it Prince John.
It hurts me deeply to inform you must surrender immediately.
I have no time for humor Golden. We're on a collision course with some unidentified mass.
Not collision. I have ordered all my reserve ships into battle.
Surrender please. It is very expensive for me to shoot all those armor-piercing rockets at you. Give up.
And if I refuse it will be your else. Naturally.
Listen, a bargain. I will take over not. I will make you the sheriff.
I give you a few moments to think this over. Please, make the correct decision.
We are full of warheads. We have only practiced rockets. All ships were ordered.
I will not surrender to Golden. Me sheriff.
Robin Hood, what do you have on your ships?
Only the best, the latest, the deadliest weapons we could steal from you, Sire.
I order our troops back into effect.
You can't mean what's been broken.
Not as in danger.
That can be a problem.
Sheriff is a nice job.
I need your ships.
Problems, problems.
I need every fighting man I have. I can't spare men so you must pilot your ships.
For what reward?
Your lives.
A good beginning.
Release Marion and Giles.
Agreed.
Safe passage to Sherwood.
None.
And you to be my prisoner until then.
Agreed.
Sire, General Golden asks for your decision.
Tell him Prince John requests a little more time. Don't you, Sire?
Call the sheriff. Have him release Marion and Giles. I make no move until then.
Calling Sheriff of Nuts. Come in please.
Sire, the girls in the castle dungeon, Giles is all secure and...
Release them.
Both?
At once.
Certainly, Sire.
Call Graldon. Tell him you've reached a decision.
Graldon, I have decided.
You disappoint me, Prince John.
My computer room reports our odds for victory to be near zero.
But not quite. Hang on.
Oh, he said I should have paid more attention. To call Rob and push this, I hope.
If that you'll get, Robyn.
Robyn Hood here.
The sheriff took Marion. Something funny is going on and I just went and pushed every button in the place.
And I'm sorry, but every ship you've got is up in the air someplace.
Reinforcements. Those rockets have been programmed for this sector of space.
And when they get here, your computer will give us better odds now. Much better.
Computer reports odds bad. Very bad.
Prepare to lock controls. You'll each be flying a couple of ships. They'll do everything you do. Remember that.
Locked on. Let's go.
Gentlemen, I do not mind being beaten as much as I mind being destroyed.
Let us please turn back and go home.
Prince John, I send my bidder for capturing Robyn Hood in the morning.
Next time will be different. Happy birthday. Yuck.
Ah, yes. Happy birthday, Prince John.
As soon as we get Marion, we'll have to have a party for you.
Get Marion and bring the sheriff. We wouldn't want him to feel left out.
It's about time. Unexpected delays.
Let me know how it tastes. But with all the respect the people have for Prince John, it just might be poison.
My people respect me. The evidence is in these gifts. Open one, sheriff.
We're Robyn's men. We rule the sky. So raise your voices. Raise them high.
For Locket Robyn Hood.
Arch enemy of Locket Robyn Hood is the cruel space tyrant Prince John, despot ruler of the national outer space terrestrial territories.
Thanks for watching!
