The children arrive in the dungeon of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Helen goes off to stand lookout and is mysteriously abducted. Her abductor is Robin of Loxley, thinking he has taken the Sheriff's niece. Helen tells him and his wife, Marian, that she is not the sheriff's niece. Alas, the Sheriff had taken Robin's medallion which gave him his magical skill as an archer. Could the medallion be the Nidus? Helen wonders. Meanwhile, Phil and Terry are deceived by a false image of Rothgo, conjured by Belor. They are led into a trap. Realizing, though, that the "trap" is just a series of images and not real, Phil and Terry brave their way out. Helen succeeds in meeting the real Sheriff's niece, and when the two try to steal the Sheriff's medallion, he is greatly angered, as is Lady Elenor, lady of the castle (and Belor). The two escape back into the secret lair of Robin of Loxley, who himself has captured a magician with the idea that the magician might help them fight the sheriff. Helen immediately recognizes the magician as Rothgo! The new team plot to retrieve the medallion, and then Rothgo goes out in search of Terry and Phil. Rothgo finds them, and unites the three children. Robin of Loxley confronts the Sheriff with an arrow, and shoots bullseye! He hits the medallion which falls from the Sheriff's neck! The kids form a circle round the medallion, but... nothing happens.

Helen picks up the medallion and sees the Sheriff wielding a dagger! The dagger is the Nidus! Too bad.... Belor has disguised herself as one of the Sheriff's guards, and denies the Nidus before they even have a chance. A bitterly disappointed Rothgo fades away and the children are kicked on to another time.
