诺埃尔·菲尔丁饰演迪克·特平，他一直认为自己注定要做比在父亲的肉铺里切肉更重要的事情。他是对的。当他无意中成为埃塞克斯帮(一群臭名昭著的不法之徒)的头目时，他意识到自己找到了自己的使命。当然，他可能是一个热爱和平的素食主义者，相信炫耀胜过手枪，但他所拥有的……

　　Noel Fielding stars as Dick Turpin, who always believed he was destined for something bigger than a life chopping meat in his dad's butcher's shop. And he was right. When he inadvertently becomes leader of the Essex Gang, a notorious bunch of outlaws, he realises he's found his calling. Sure, he might be a peace-loving vegan who believes in panache over pistols, but what he lacks in hard-core highway skills he makes up for in imagination, invention and incredibly pointy purple shoes.　　In this irreverent retelling, Dick is the most famous, but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of loveable rogues, Dick rides the highs and lows of celebrity - and does what he can to escape the clutches of the Thief Taker General.
