Background[]
At the celebration, a serf introduces Prince John on-stage. Prince John exclaims how he can protect the town from giants, as the serf sets up wooden statues of giants. Prince John shoots arrows at the statues to show how amazing he is, and while he doesn’t hit all the statues, the serf makes them fall down through a lever system. As Prince John shoots at the final statue, his arrow misses and knocks the statue towards the audience, about to land on Miss Lewis’ children. Robin spots this, and rushes to shoot the statue, splitting it in half and saving the children. The audience applauds Robin’s bravery, and Prince John sends the serf to the Dungeon of Despair for embarrassing him. Prince John then asks the sheriff about Robin, and the sheriff states that he was handing out ham the other day. Appalled by this, Prince John tells the sheriff to invite Robin to his castle for dinner, to talk with him about the hams. The sheriff walks over to Robin, and apologizes for taking the ham. He explains that people who disagree with Prince John end up in the dungeon, and the Dungeon of Despair. He then invites Robin to the king’s castle for dinner, giving Robin hope that the king will listen to his ideas about giving away his ham.
During the dinner party, Prince John scolds Robin for giving away ham to the poor. Robin then tells him that the people of Bethlingham are starving, and that the prince sharing his ham would keep them from doing so. Prince John argues that the ham belongs to him, and that he does not want to share. While the two argue in song, the Merry Men sneak into the castle and steal every ham from Prince John. As soon as the Merry Men leave and the song ends, Prince John notices all his ham missing, and accuses Robin of stealing them. He orders the sheriff to throw Robin in the Dungeon of Despair, and to throw away the key. The sheriff goes to handcuff Robin, but as they do not have hands, he escapes the castle and retreats into the forest. After assuring him he made the right choice, Miss Lewis says she heard that the sheriff was thrown into the Dungeon of Despair earlier, and that Robin could teach him that there’s no hurt too big for God.
As Robin and the sheriff escape and a giant breaks through the walls of Bethlingham for revenge, sounding an alarm. Prince John cowering in fear of the giant, and ask him if he'll help with a plan to get rid of it. Once outside the castle, the sheriff frees the Merry Men, and has them pile the prince's ham onto the wooden giant statues. He leads the giant to where the statues are, chasing off Prince John and leading the Merry Men to fire the hams. The hams, however, fly over the giant, and scatter across the area.
