- Two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the brilliant, charismatic poet who loves them both.
- The Swashbuckling legend of Robin Hood unfolds in the 12th century when the mighty Normans ruled England with an iron fist.
- Located in the United Kingdom, the Principality of Wales, home to 2.5 million people, is filled with rolling mountains, and green valleys. Because of its culture and language, it is unique within the UK. Much of the economy is based on small independent farms, but also includes coal and slate mining. Its many castles - including Caernarfon and Conwy - comprise its most famous built landmarks. Another landmark is the Menai suspension bridge - spanning the Menai Straits - the longest such structure in the UK. As Wales is a largely coastal jurisdiction, the Welsh have taken advantage of water opportunities, whether it be for fishing, or for recreation at one of the many coastal resorts, such as the most famous, Llandudno. There are also mountain resorts, such as Betws-y-Coed. Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, offers great hiking and climbing opportunities. However, most ascend and descend the mountain on the unique railway, which despite its several safety measures, still thrills its passengers by its seemingly dangerous traverse, as do the many sheep dotting the mountainside.
- Perhaps the most interesting single feature of the film is the Abbey of Valle Crucis at Llangollen, England, built in 1200 A.D. by Cistercian Monks from France. It is today a remarkably well preserved specimen of the later Norman architecture. Magnificent pictures of the romantic Welsh mountain scenery are shown. A sparkling, rocky little brook is introduced to us as the source of the famous River Dee. Further down, at Llangollen, we catch a glimpse of a salmon fisherman seated in an odd little tub-like craft, known as a "coracle." Bettws-y-Coed is a curious sort of waterfall, not unlike a great bunch of dowers in appearance. Several remarkable bridges, one of which was built by the Romans, and a charming view of Dolwyddelan castle, are other features of this picture. The film closes with a close view of a certain Jenny Jones, a typical old Welshwoman, clad in the conventional garb of the country.
- Will, Henry and Beanpole, driven by hunger, steal food from a village festival and find themselves in trouble.
