The sheriff has a giant jelly baby in the likeness of King John made to give him as a present but the merry men steal it. In order to cut his losses and find another gift for the king, the sheriff tells the villagers that it is the festival of Bloopie when they must give presents to Father Bloopie, alias King John. When he has them all in the castle the sheriff plans to keep them until he gets presents from them but they are rescued by the merry men, using the jelly baby as a battering ram before they eat it.
