:04:05
Here returning to his castle is King Roderick.
:04:09
Roderick the tyrant, who some
months before seized the throne

:04:13
by a massacre of the entire royal family.
:04:18
But uneasy lies Roderick's crown,
for rumor hath it that an infant,

:04:24
the rightful heir to the thrown
had survived the massacre.

:04:28
And even now is being cared
for by a group in the forest.

:04:33
A group led by an elusive dashing
outlaw known only as..

:04:38
the Black Fox!
:04:55
The child lives! Death to
the tyrant! The Black Fox.

:04:59
The Black Fox again!
To the castle, quick!

:05:15
My kingdom seething with revolt,
cutthroats and assassins in every tree!

:05:21
Why must I be surrounded by fools?
Ravenhurst! Ravenhurst!

:05:27
Sire!
:05:28
Could you have been so
incompetent, bungled so horribly,

:05:31
as to have permitted
that child to live?

:05:33
Sire, there is no child.
:05:35
My men assure me that none
of the royal family escaped alive.

:05:39
Believe me, sire,
this is nonsense.

:05:41
Nonsense? You call it nonsense, Ravenhurst!
:05:44
Is it nonsense that I cannot
ride my own domain,

:05:47
without being
murderously attacked.

:05:50
My child, I came
within an inch of my life.

:05:54
Oh, father.
:05:56
Each day, some new insurrection.
Who is this Black Fox?
