Robin Hood and His Merry Men #34
In "The Warning Arrow," Robin Hood and his men intercept a message intended for the Duke of Ponce Louis, delivered via a specially marked arrow shot into the Duke's courtyard, warning of a treacherous foreign prince's plot. Robin decides to use this as an opportunity to strike at the Duke, planning to shoot a warning arrow of his own if the wind and conditions are right. Meanwhile, Hugh O'Banion, an old friend of Robin's, arrives seeking help after learning that the foreign prince and his army pose a threat to England; Robin agrees to assist him despite initially appearing to pursue his own vendetta against the Duke. The story unfolds with Robin and his men preparing provisions and readying themselves for action against the approaching danger.
