As Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck confront the man they think has betrayed them, Robin’s foggy mind battles confusion and sorrow. When a second knock to the head clears his memory, he devises a daring plan to prove his loyalty, leading to a tense standoff and a reunion under the trees of Sherwood Forest.

In "The Viking Genie," a stranded Viking named Jon is mistaken for a golden-haired genie after washing ashore in Arabia, where he’s tasked with retrieving three sacred artifacts to earn his freedom.

But his journey home is far from simple—tyrants await, and a quiet longing stirs in the heart of the old man’s daughter.
