Son of the Guardsman is based on the Robin Hood legends, although it does not include Robin Hood, just the period and Sherwood Forest setting. The serial was made to use costumes and sets left over from feature films, amortising the costs of all the productions involved. Costume drama serials were rare productions for any producer. The serial's subtitle was "Gallant Fighter of the Greenwood". Stunts • Jock Mahoney ==Chapter titles==
