In the satellite's Domisphere, Tuddrussel and Otto are trying to play golf with Larry's golf clubs. Tuddrussel manages to hit one golf ball, but it smashes through the glass of the dome, setting off an alarm. Otto and Tuddrussel panic and run into the main satellite before they are sucked into outer space, and run into Larry. They try to prevent Larry from finding out about the dome, and before Larry can find out what's wrong with them, the History Instability Alarm goes off. Otto and Tuddrussel manage to urge Larry into the computer room before he notices that the land in the dome is being sucked into space. The team sees that Robin Hood is the next mission, and hurries out.

During the night, Robin Hood sneaks over to a small hut and enters through the window. A flash is seen as Time Squad arrives, and Otto assures Robin Hood that they are here to help him with the robbery. Robin Hood snatches some things into a sack and departs with Time Squad following. While running, Otto notices the size of the hut and asks who they just robbed, and Robin Hood replies that it was the poor. Larry insists that they should steal from the rich and give to the poor, but Robin Hood says that the rich are too well armed, and he is trying to get in good with them by stealing for them. He invites Time Squad to come with him, and Otto agrees.

Later, a private party is going on in a small castle. The party is full of richly dressed people, and Robin Hood notices Prince John, who is his ticket into the rich life. Robin Hood introduces himself to Prince John, and asks to join his club. He then offers his sack full of stolen goods from the poor to the prince, but it contains half-eaten food and used items, which disgust the prince. Prince John then orders the guards to throw out Time Squad and Robin Hood, and Robin Hood decides to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

At dawn, Robin Hood is seen leading Time Squad through the woods, carrying sacks of loot while Larry rides on a throne atop a wheelbarrow of treasure. Robin Hood is excited to help the poor and announces himself to a small village. The poor people come out, snatch the treasure, and even steal from Robin Hood before going back into their homes. They disrespect Robin Hood, but Otto uncertainly tells him that he did the right thing. Larry then says he will enjoy a round of golf back at the satellite as he prepares to leave, making Otto and Tuddrussel wince in fear from Larry's inevitable wrath once they get home.


Tropes present in this episode include:

  • Being Good Sucks: Giving the rich people's treasure to the poor may seem like the right thing to do, but the citizens of Nottingham are so rude and disrespectful to Robin Hood that even Otto questions the act.
  • Crapsack World: Played for Laughs, of course as the town of Nottingham is filled with horrible people who literally walk all over Robin Hood's kindness.
  • The Dung Ages:
  • King John of England: He's portrayed less evil and more as a bored, snobby royal type who'd obviously be offended that Robin Hood would bring him literal garbage as a gift at his party.
