The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955)

S1E3 Dead or Alive

Little John breaks free from his feudal lord’s grip and flees, only to be cornered in a tavern by the Sheriff’s men. A sergeant strikes a deal: John can earn his freedom if he ventures into Sherwood Forest and captures an outlaw. He accepts, but deep in the woods, his mission takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Robin Hood for the very first time.
