Moses is threatened with eviction from his hovel, unless he can come up with five crowns in three days. The next day, a play is planned at the castle. Tom, Moses and DeeDee hatch a plot to sneak into the castle and rob the guests of the play. They plan to use some of the money they steal to save Moses' Hovel. Everything goes smoothly, until the trio need to get out of the castle. All does not go to plan, and the outlaws soon find themselves on a life or death chase through the castle. Luckily, DeeDee (Lady Devereux) saves the day by taking them down a secret passage out of the castle. In the end, they manage to gain seven crowns, but Moses decides that he would prefer to live in the crypt (it is, after all, rent free).

On Sir John's orders, Captain Watt and the other guards kidnap the Blacksmith's daughter, Hope. Sir John states that unless Swiftnick gives himself up within three days, Hope will be executed. Tom devises a rescue plan in which he and Moses gain entry to the castle disguised as ladies who have just been attacked by Swiftnick. DeeDee, however, is excluded from the plan as Tom believes she is dangerous, out of control, and likely to get them into unnecessary trouble. Once Tom and Moses get into the castle, DeeDee decides to take matters into her own hands. She kidnaps Giles, Sir John's son, and plans to offer his release in return for the release of Hope. Unfortunately, Sir John could not care less if his son went missing! It is only after a backup plan goes wrong, and Swiftnick and Sir John engage in battle, that the gang manage, by chance, to rescue Hope.

When walking through the village square a group of crazed monks mistake Moses for the ‘chosen one' and start to worship him. Meanwhile at the castle, Sir John discovers that the only portrait of Lady Devereux's parents is by a Dutch master – making it worth a fortune. Regardless of the fact that Lady Devereux has no other picture of her parents, Sir John plans to sell it. Lady Devereux, however, manages to steal the portrait and give it to Tom to look after. Sir john demands that the painting is returned, or he will burn the village to the ground. Deedee has Moses get a copy of the portrait made (as the monks will pamper to his every whim), and return this to the castle. For the plan to work, Tom plans a distraction to allow him and Deedee into the castle. He decides to use the monk's celebration of Moses, but in doing so discovers that they plan to sacrifice Moses! Luckily, the plan works, and Deedee and Swiftnick enter the castle as planned. They manage to defeat Sir John, and save M

After having yet more of his valuables stolen by Swiftnick, Sir John decides to hire the services of Captain Lucas Knife, the most notorious and bloodthirsty Thief Taker in England, to capture the gang once and for all. Scared of a premature death, Tom decides that it is time to end his career as an outlaw, and concentrate on doing well in his school work, as he promised his late mother. DeeDee sees this move as cowardice, to which Tom states that he had always planned to retire at around this time. However, Knife, bearing a grudge against the school teacher (Mr. Megson) from many year ago, frames him, and makes it appear that he is in fact Swiftnick. Tom has little choice but to resume his post and save his school teacher. Meanwhile, Captain Watt (who has been demoted to housemaid, to accommodate Knife) stumbles across a box of Sir John's jewels in Knife's chamber. When Tom arrives, Sir John mistakes him for a sidekick, but chases him and captures him anyway. At this moment, Captain W

It is Valentine's day, and Tom devises a plan to win over Lady Devereux. He will hijack a coach carrying a jewel encrusted necklace. However, all does not go to plan, and he ends up hijacking the postal coach, and stealing all the valentines! Meanwhile, Lady Devereux receives the gift of an extremely rare and exotic fruit – a banana – from Baron Pedro of Spain. In his jealousy, Sir John confiscates the gift and places it in the centre of his new creation – the chamber of doom. This room is armed with a large array of booby traps, and is almost impossible to transverse. Tom, conjuring another wild plan, buys a plum cake and laces it with a love potion from the apothecary. However, driven by his greed for food, Moses takes a bite of the cake and falls in love with Tom. When DeeDee meets the boys, she gives them a letter to Swiftnick, from Lady Devereux, that she ‘found on the Inn notice board'. In her letter, Lady Devereux asks Swiftnick to show his love for her by retrieving her stolen
