There is much want in the kingdom and the tales of Jackaroo, the masked outlaw who helps the poor in times of trouble, are on everyone's lips. Gwyn, the innkeeper's lively daughter, pays little attention to the tales. But when she is stranded during a snowstorm in a cabin with the lordling Gaderian, she finds a strange garment that resembles the costume Jackaroo is said to wear. When she uncovers the myth of a legendary outlaw, she becomes inspired to take on the persona of her sword-wielding, cape-clad hero.
