Even in the 20th century there’s no telling where you’ll run in to Robin Hood or under what name. In Lux’s presentation of Alias The Deacon he’s a long way from Sherwood Forest. He wears a suit of modest black and instead of carrying a longbow carries a deck of cards and his name known to every sheriff in the Middle West is The Deacon. Bob Burns plays the cardsharp Deacon with a heart of gold. Wherever the Deacon alights from his private car – any passing truck – injustice is on its way to defeat and romance runs its proper course and certain petty tyrants are apt to start running too!
